Coverage cautions¶
- A functional website does not establish service reach, quality or independence.
- English-language search favours Anglophone organizations and urban, internet-connected populations.
- Dialysis support is more visible than early-stage CKD support.
- The organization map is not a directory of emergency or individualized medical care.
