This figure demonstrates the factors that lead to an imbalance between an optimal healthcare system and patient satisfaction in the treatment of kidney failure. Rapid population growth in Sydney with increasing frailty multimorbidity, and cultural diversity are factors impacting service delivery in Western Sydney as well as most other high-resource healthcare systems across the world. Higher rates of sub-optimal healthcare literacy and financial disadvantage, have particularly negative impacts in the dialysis population, due to the complexity of the medical condition.
