Our Programs

Successfully addressing issues with the magnitude of primary aldosteronism requires coordinated efforts across the entire healthcare system.

Improving the standards of care of a highly prevalent disease that disproportionately affects some segments of a population requires public health interventions.

If 95% of those affected are neither diagnosed nor treated, interventions are also needed to ensure the provision and insurance coverage of health services:

• Payment structures must allow for all diagnostic and treatment procedures for all patients,
• Guidelines’ uptake must be facilitated by timely updates and knowledge translation,
• Targeted research must be funded proportionally to the number of affected patients,
• Curriculum must be revised at all teaching institutions to equip physicians with the means to recognize and treat the disease,
• Barriers to diagnosis and treatment must be identified, and inclusive solutions implemented at the primary and specialized care levels,
• Accurate screening must be undertaken on a large scale, and
• Capacity must be increased at all medical centers to address unmet medical needs.
