Proceedings of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences Workshop
Transplantation is the best if not the unique treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, thousands of patients die or endure a poor quality of life (QoL) while waiting for a transplantable organ. The shortage of available organs is also the root cause of organ trafficking and transplant tourism, practices that pose a severe risk to individual and public health and to the notion of national self-sufficiency. Organ trafficking and transplant tourism violate fundamental human rights, as protected in the WHO Guiding Principles on Human Cells, Tissue and Organ Transplantation.
Please join us for this Networking Event hosted by Women in Transplantation where Dr. Lynn Gordon will speak on the subject of ‘Pathways to creating equity and inclusion: change is our collective responsibility’. A panel discussion will follow Dr. Gordon’s presentation.
Virtual access to the Women in Transplantation event is FREE to WIT members.

The program is a joint partnership between the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and The Transplantation Society (TTS) to help establish new kidney transplant centers and develop existing kidney transplant programs in emerging countries. Please note that the program is open to all ISN and TTS members. This initiative fosters partnerships between experienced transplant centers in the developed world (Supporting Centers or SCs) and new and developing transplant centers (Emerging Centers or ECs) in low-resource regions, providing a framework and funding for up to six years of collaboration if adequate progress is made.
