We have just released a groundbreaking resource: Operational and Technical Guidance for Developing a Transplant Programme in the Balkans.
This comprehensive document is a practical roadmap for policymakers, healthcare leaders, and clinicians. It addresses the key pillars for building and scaling transplant capacity in the region — from governance and training to infrastructure, public trust, and cross-border collaboration.
“Medicine is unique in that it offers our patients the opportunity to live longer and better. Physicians provide hope in the darkest moments of one’s life. Organ transplant in particular is the epitome of such efforts.”
— Elvana Rista
This milestone underscores ESOT’s commitment to equitable, ethical, and sustainable transplantation across the Balkans — and to empowering local professionals to lead that change.
