The Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Policy Forum recognizes CKM conditions as a growing public health crisis. Cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes are the world’s most prevalent and interconnected noncommunicable diseases. By prioritizing prevention and early detection in primary care, strengthening collaboration across specialties and ensuring timely access to treatment, health systems and policymakers can better address shared risk factors and reduce the rising burden of CKM conditions.
