Omschrijving

Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) and the Embassy of Sweden to the Netherlands are pleased to invite you to the scientic event on kidney donation and highly sensitized patients on 15 April 2025 in the LUMC.

LUMC has a coaboration with the Lund University in Sweden, both hospitals with a large experience in kidney transplantations. A field that is still facing many challenges, including that highly sensitized patients have a high unmet medical need of receiving a donor kidney.

This event aims to raise more awareness for these challenges and focus on specific new developments. During this event experts from LUMC and Erasmus MC will further elaborate on the topic. Specific attention will be given to the patients’ perspective, having patients telling their story and their patient journey. Next to that, recent innovations in the field of organ transplantation will be highlighted, and during a panel discussion the audience has the possibility to ask questions.

The event will be moderated by Tom van ’t Hek, former GP, radio host and professional hockey player.

Target audience

This event is specfically aimed at physicians active in organ transplantation, patient organizations, trade associations in medicine, health insurers, Dutch policy makers and journalists.
