Dear Colleagues and Friends
On behalf of Asian Society of Transplantation (AST), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 19th Congress of Asian Society of Transplantation (CAST). This is a momentous occasion that marks a significant milestone for our society, to have CAST 2025 being held in the beautiful and vibrant city of Kuwait for the first time.
Kuwait not only leads in organ transplantation within the Gulf but also ranks prominently among Middle Eastern countries. Kuwait had the first live donor kidney transplant performed in February 1979. The first successful pancreas transplant was performed in 2007. Kuwait also started their liver transplant program in 2018. The rich culture and history also make Kuwait be the perfect meeting place of CAST!
As the biannual transplant congress of AST, CAST 2025 will focus on the challenge to develop transplant program in Asia and promote ethical organ donation and transplant practice in the region. CAST 2025 will give regional transplantation professionals a good opportunity to meet transplantation experts from around the world.
In closing, I want to express my deep appreciation to Dr Mustafa and his team to produce the wonderful program of CAST 2025. Together with AST Council, we look forward to meeting you in Kuwait!
