Cardiovascular‑Kidney‑Metabolic Policy Forum: Addressing the Disproportionate Impact of CKM Conditions on Women’s Wellness

Cardiovascular‑kidney‑metabolic (CKM) conditions span interconnected diseases, yet health systems too often treat them in silos, missing critical opportunities for earlier risk identification, accurate diagnosis, and timely intervention. This year’s forum introduces a specific focus on women’s wellness and will spotlight the urgent need to prioritize women’s wellness in CKM policy design, strengthen prevention pathways, and advance coordinated strategies to address CKM disease progression earlier and more effectively.
