Specifically, we aimed to: (i) develop projections regarding the demand for CKRT that are revised weekly in accordance with prevailing rates; (ii) improve efficiency of existing care practices to avoid future rationing; (iii) optimize stocks of consumables by trimming current consumption and diversifying sources, while preventing hoarding; (iv) ramp up clinical and nursing training but maintain realistic workforce awareness; and most importantly, (v) collaborate widely at a national and regional level, and stay in close communication despite the social disconnect forced by COVID-19 (Fig.1) . ./cache/cord-294079-px9c20il.txt ./txt/cord-294079-px9c20il.txt
