Working together to improve vascular health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Man having dialysisThe Kanyini Vascular Collaboration is a research program aimed at identifying and overcoming barriers to best practice chronic disease care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
