25. Latin American and Caribbean Transplant Congress

This year Mexico has the unique privilege to host the XXV Latin American and Caribbean Transplant Congress, taking place in Merida Mexico at International Convention Center of Yucatan on the 23th to 26th of October 2019. Transplant community will proudly attend the most relevant scientific event in terms of organ donation and transplantation among the Latin American and Caribbean region.

We commend the valuable and generous adhesion and support from important societies and institutions to STALYC 2019, which has strengthened the congress and reiterates the idea of unity and understanding in the Latin American community.

The Mexican Transplantation Society (SMT) stands out especially since it has integrally merged its most important activity – The Mexican Transplantation Congress- with the STALYC 2019 Congress. Mexico will present its very important transplantation activity within the Latin American context. Furthermore, the Latin American transplantation activity will have a special encounter with the Mexican transplantation community.

The Latin American and Caribbean region has been historically adhered to Transplantation Society (TTS). The STALYC 2019 Congress will conduct with the TTS the TID: Transplant Infectious Diseases Symposium as well as a special symposium with Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group (DICG).

STALYC has a wide tradition and experience in matters related to bioethics in donation and transplantation, worth to mention the Document of Aguascalientes published in 2010. Merida will also host the VI Latin American Bioethics Forum which will bring distinguished experts on ethical issues to make a space for reflection and analysis after almost a decade of its publication.

The nephrological societies are no exception to the collaborative spirit shown in Merida 2019. The Mexican Institute for Nephrological Research in Mexico also merges with the International Symposium of Renal Transplantation organized annually in Mexico. Furthermore, the Nephrology and Hypertension Latin American Society (SLANH) contributes once more with a high level academic symposium where nephrology and transplantation medicine converge.

As in previous events, STALYC and SMT will coordinate a Workshop for organ donation, a very attractive and necessary academic activity specially organized for transplant coordinators in Mexico and Latin America.

The city of Merida was carefully selected as the optimal location for our congress. Its cultural and gastronomic diversity, as well as air connectivity and installations constitute a great venue for STALYC congress.

We are ready, we have prepared a high academic level Scientific congress on the Art and Science of Transplantation.

Kindest regards,

Dr. Rafael Reyes Acevedo

President of the Latin American and Caribbean Transplantation Society
