In Canada, the incidence of IgAN is 1.6 per 100,000, and approximately 260 Canadians are diagnosed yearly.
As part of the IgA Nephropathy Foundation’s Go Global initiative, we’ve expanded our advocacy and educational efforts into Canada to address the urgent needs of patients navigating limited treatment options. This includes launching country-specific resources, translating core materials into French, and collaborating with Canadian nephrologists and policy advocates to accelerate drug access and improve awareness.
Our goal is to empower the Canadian IgAN community with tools, information, and support tailored to their unique healthcare landscape.
Strengthen Relationships
Strengthen relationships with healthcare providers and partner organizations in Canada and beyond.
Establish an International Network
Establish an international network led by local Foundation Ambassadors.
Develop Tailored Resources
Develop tailored resources to meet the unique needs of Canadian IgAN patients.
Raise Global Awareness & Advocate
Raise global awareness and advocate for improved access to treatments and support.
“This initiative represents a critical step forward in ensuring that no IgAN patient feels isolated, no matter where they live.
By expanding our network to Canada, we are building a stronger, more connected global community dedicated to advocacy, education, and support.”
