The ESOT Legacy Project
We will conclude the day by reconvening for the unveiling of the ESOT Legacy Project, led by Raj Thuraisingham. This initiative emphasises giving back and connecting science and care with the real lives and stories behind transplantation.
This day signifies more than just a prelude to the Congress; it invites us to listen, share, and grow together as a unified transplant community.
Whether you are a professional, a patient, a caregiver, or an advocate, you have a role in this conversation.
