Patient Portal

With the release of the new Community Partner membership category, ASHI's Communication, Engagement and Marketing Committee (CEMC) updated the Patient Portal with a fresh design, HLA articles, video links, and other educational material for patients, donors, and caregivers.

ASHI at Work

The ASHI at Work webpage was designed to be a resource for our volunteers and committee leads. This page features the annual committee reports video, a summary of each committee's division report, updated committee rosters, and other information to help guide potential collaboration and future initiatives. 

The 18th Congress of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT) will be held on May 24-26, 2023 in Ankara, Turkey. Transplantation activities in MESOT countries are growing daily and the quality of the medical and surgical treatment provided for the patients is on par with the most developed countries in the world.

The 18th Congress of the MESOT will be an ideal opportunity to share and learn from each other. State-of-the-art lectures, plenaries, oral presentations and poster receptions will stimulate deep discussions on the latest scientific research in all fields of organ transplantation in the Middle East, Mid Asia and the world.

The Commissioners of the Accreditation Review Board (ARB) are often asked questions from accredited laboratories on interpretation of ASHI Standards. In an effort to share as much information with our laboratories as possible, we are excited to launch this new feature in the monthly ASHI News publication.

We would like to thank outgoing region 10 Commissioner Anne Marie Pichotta for creating this concept and region 3 Commissioner Dr. Cathy Gebhart for contributing the Q&A for the first edition, highlighting some common questions we receive on the ARB.

"My most memorable moment was organizing the ASHI Speaks Your Language webinar series with the International Committee to assist with multilingual, professional engagement."

Check out our featured volunteer spotlight, Dr. Aziz Chentoufi!
