Kidney exchange takes another step forward in Mexico: Pro-Renal

My recent visit was to speak about kidney transplantation in Mexico, and to raise awareness of and support for the new kidney exchange network, Pro-Renal, which has already collaborated successfully with the Alliance for Paired Donation (APD).

Kidney exchange (and international cooperation for global kidney exchange) received a lot of favorable press, here are some reports.

In Forbes Mexico:


Cada año mueren 7 millones por falta de un trasplante de riñón: Alvin E. Roth
Para el Premio Nobel, las barreras que impiden un trasplante renal deberían ser derribadas, porque los tratamientos más costosos son también los que rezagan los mejores resultados.
Jessica Martínez, mayo 23, 2018
[Google Translate: Every year 7 million die in the absence of a kidney transplant: Alvin E. Roth  ... the barriers that prevent a kidney transplant should be demolished, because the most expensive treatments are also those that lag behind the best results."
