- Abstract
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kidney transplant recipients and family members - like nearly all other transplant recipients - also affirm the many health and wellbeing benefits of transplantation,[[7]] and numerous community consultations have shown that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people want a better understanding of, and access to, transplantation.[9], [10], [11], [12] Disparity in access to transplantation has been recognised for many years.[13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18] Although absolute rates of waitlisting and transplantation have increased among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, substantial inequity remains in rates of waitlisting and transplantation compared with non-Indigenous populations, as well as age at diagnosis, pre-transplant treatment modality, and transplantation outcomes.[2] Furthermore, the reasons behind the inequity remain.
