Dr. Andreas Kousios participated as an invited speaker and member of the academic faculty at the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) Living Donor Kidney Transplantation Congress, held in Prague on November 7–8, 2025.
In an era often marked by individualism, conflict, and division, this conference stood out as a true celebration of optimism and hope, dedicated to one of the most profoundly humanitarian acts — the generosity of those who come forward to be evaluated as living kidney donors.
The event brought together professionals from various scientific disciplines, all sharing a common passion: to promote and expand living donor kidney transplantation. Living kidney donation, when accompanied by the necessary medical evaluation and safety protocols, remains a safe and life-transforming practice, offering recipients with kidney disease the most precious gift — the gift of life.
