It is my privilege and pleasure to invite all transplantologists and members of the affiliated fields to the 12th Congress of Middle East Society of Organ Transplantation in 2010 in the charming city of Tunis.

The objective of MESOT Congress is to enhance transplant activities in the region. There is a great need for cooperation in all spheres of activities and we have to pursue all efforts towards increasing transplantation activity because the options and the cost of treatment of end stage organ failure are limited and costly. For this, cooperation between centres is imperative. Sharing of data through registry as well as clinical problems through regional publications are the need of the hour. Training of manpower is the other challenge that can only be met through joint efforts. There is no dearth of technical expertise in organ transplantation, be it kidneys, liver or bone marrow. The time has now come that regions with more facilities should step ahead and helps to train the less developed ones. MESOT Fellowship programme is such a step to achieve this goal.  

A concerted effort by all especially the countries that have had successful deceased donor programmes can help those centres which are without the benefit of multi-organ cadaver transplants. This is yet another avenue for cooperation which can yield great benefits for thousands of patients in the region. To achieve this goal the organ transplant procurement network will have to be developed in all affiliated countries.

The 12th MESOT Congress will bring together a large number of regional speakers and experts in the field of organ transplantation in Tunisia. Along with acquiring the latest knowledge, the warm friendliness of the people of Tunisia, will provide an opportunity for the delegates to see hospitable land of colors and contrasts, spices and scents and to enjoy its natural beauty and lively festivals.
