16. Congress of The Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you to Ankara for the 16th Congress of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation.

2018 will be the 10th Anniversary of the Declaration of Istanbul Summit, which took place in Istanbul in April 2008. Over the past decade many important steps have been taken, but more needs to be done to combat organ trafficking. As such, the theme of this congress will be “Enhancing deceased organ donation and ensuring legal and ethical transplantation.”

As is the custom, the meeting is designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in the field of experimental and clinical tissue and organ transplantation. Organ and tissue transplantation in the Middle East has reached new heights and the expansion of fields and transplant activities in our region is very encouraging. With invited speakers from among the most distinguished of the MESOT region and beyond, I believe this will be an excellent opportunity for both younger members of the profession and distinguished faculty from the world over to partake in intellectual exchange, share experiences and present their work.

In addition to the scientific and sporting events, an enjoyable social program awaits you in Ankara, where you will experience Turkish hospitality at its best.
