International Symposium on Organ Donation and Transplantation in Kyrgyzstan

News & Events

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to announce the International Symposium on Organ Donation and Transplantation in Kyrgyzstan to be held on May 22-23, 2026 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Meeting will be organized by the Turkic World Transplantation Society (TDTD) and will be supported by the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan, The Turkish Transplantation Society (TOND), the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT) and Baskent University.

I founded the Turkic World Transplantation Society (TDTD) on December 15, 2014. TDTD aims to create an arena of communication and collaboration in the field of organ transplantation among the Turkic States of the world inclusive of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. TDTD has already organized 4 international congresses (Astana 2015, Baku 2016, Ankara 2017, and Tashkent 2019) and is affiliated to The Transplantation Society (TTS).

Although the main purpose of the Symposium is to support and contribute to the development of organ donation and transplantation activities in Kyrgyzstan, it will also encourage colleagues in the Mid Asia region establishing successful treatments for end stage organ disease.

The symposium will be designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest developments in experimental and clinical tissue and organ transplantation. The conference will match the high standards set by our previous international meetings and this will be an excellent opportunity for both younger members of the profession and distinguished faculty from the world over to partake in intellectual exchange and share experiences.

We strongly encourage you to attend the meeting and send in your abstracts for an opportunity to present your work. Abstract submission is now open, and we invite you to send in your abstracts via the online system at www.tdtd2026.com. The deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 2026.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bishkek in May 2026.

Yours sincerely,
