Kidney failure has become a major public health problem in Niger, exacerbated by the rising prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, infections, and limited coverage of specialized health services.
Most patients are diagnosed too late, when kidney damage is already severe. Care remains costly, dialysis machines are insufficient, and access to nephrologists is extremely limited.

This situation leads to preventable deaths, financially devastating impacts on families, and a significant burden on the health system.

In response to this health emergency, ONG LUSAA is launching RIANA, a structured program aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality of kidney failure through an integrated approach: prevention, early screening, quality care, and patient support.
