Speech: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Transplantation
Language: English
The presentation will focus on sex, gender, ethnic and racial disparities in transplant access, management and outcomes, transplant tourism, changes of policies/interventions to address the existing inequities in the field and on the needs to build a true global access, as well as in fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion in transplant research.
The role of scientific societies, institutions and stakeholders will also be discussed, to help identifying initiatives aimed to foster a culture of transparency in selection procedures, to eliminate inherent bias in selection procedures and to promote a bottom-up instead of a top-down organization.
