Mimi's WSLHD REN Kickstarter research focuses on sick day medication management in CALD populations and is being conducted in Western Sydney - home to Australia's highest prevalence of CKD and a population where over 50% identify as CALD. This project has garnered significant local attention, particularly within the Vietnamese community. Mimi has also shared her work through a podcast episode, helping to raise awareness about chronic kidney disease and medication safety.
