description | The linked successes of dialysis and transplantation pose dilemmas for nephrologists struggling to meet the clinical need and for health care planners wondering where to find the resources required.

Political initiative is beginning to emerge to redress the underprovision of facilities by setting realistic targets before regional health authorities. |
