"There are now 25,000 patients on dialyses treatment in Iran, and that Iranian sergeants have thus far transplanted over 35,000 kidneys," Dr. Behzad Einollahi said during a press conference held on Sunday, IRNA reported.
Highlighting the high number of kidney transplants in Iran, he said that Iran is even far ahead of Turkey, which ranks first in scientific progress in the region.
Noting that there are more than 26 centers for kidney transplants, Einollahi said that the period that the patients need to wait for a kidney transplant is relatively low in Iran.
The 1st International Nephrology and Urology Congress will be held in Tehran from June 10 to 12 in the presence of dozens of top Iranian and foreign specialists in the field from Spain, Belgium, Britain, Greece, the Czech Republic, and France.
