Na saunoa le minisita o le soifua maloloina, Mark Butler, i le aogā o le Jardiance mo tagata e a'afia i faama'i o fatuga'o.
“Last year, we listed Jardiance for a limited group of Australians with a particular type of kidney disease. But from Saturday, we think another 70,000 Australians with kidney disease will become eligible for this life-changing drug”.
E tusa ai ma famaumauga o le tusiga igoa o le 2021, pe o le 1% o tagatanuu i Ausetalia o loo a’afia i faama'i o fatuga'o.

O le to’atele e lē o iloa o loo a’afia i fa’ama’i o fatuga’o.
"We think more than two and a half million Australians have kidney disease, but less than 10 per cent of them know about it, because the sign and symptoms of kidney disease usually only become apparent when it's as much as 90 per cent of loss of kidney function has already taken place.”
Na saunoa Professor Carol Pollock, le ta’ita’ifono o le Kidney Health Australia, e tāua tele le faia o su'ega e iloa ai pe o maua se tagata i faama'i o fatuga'o.
"To pick up kidney disease, what we really need is a blood test, a blood pressure check and a urine test. And some people will have some of these tests done, but not always together, and we really need the three of them to be done. And what we would like to see is a kidney health check that meant that people would have those things done and then have an understanding of what the risk the kidney disease could be and allow it to be appropriately treated."
