The ISN and The Transplantation Society (TTS) are pleased to announce the results from the latest round of applications to the ISN-TTS Sister Transplant Centers Program.

Six centers will work in pairs over the next few years toward creating new kidney transplant centers and developing existing kidney transplant programs in the emerging health centers:

• Mittaphab Hospital, Laos, and Ramathibodi Excellent Center for Organ Transplantation, Thailand
• Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, and Singapore General Hospital-Health Sciences Authority, Singapore
• Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais, Haiti, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, USA

Thanks to generous and dedicated support from the Bambino Gesu Children’s Hospital in Italy, the St. John’s Medical College and Hospital in India has now graduated from the program after completing a fulfilling six-year journey.

St. John’s Medical College and Hospital is now considered to be a center of knowledge, able to support local institutions to advance kidney transplantation in South Asia.

The ISN warmly congratulates these centers on all they have accomplished.

Supporting and emerging health centers benefit from such partnerships: Supporting centers contribute to global health, bringing ethical and competent transplantation to regions of the world with limited or no transplantation; emerging centers connect with a multidisciplinary team of international experts in transplantation.
