Opening Remarks and Project Introduction - An Observational Study

After a review of lessons learned from Day 1, Dr. Daniel Enos and Pavel Rutherford will discuss a Stanford University initiative being undertaken in Chile. Stanford Solutions is launching an observational study to validate an effective treatment that could halt the onset of renal failure in dialysis patients. The challenge will be to track the impact of the treatment as well as fund its subsequent clinical trials.

Dr. Enos will discuss the other issues tied to poor kidney health in Chile, as well as the issues that may be faced during the observational study itself.
