Abstract
The Middle East presents a complex landscape for organ transplantation, marked by diversity yet hindered by challenges. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran have made significant advancements, particularly in living donor kidney transplants. The editorial aims to critically evaluate the current state of organ transplantation in the Middle East, focusing on the progress made by key countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran, while also addressing the ongoing challenges that hinder comprehensive organ donation systems. It seeks to highlight the necessity for a unified approach that includes coordinated policy implementation, enhanced data-sharing mechanisms, increased public awareness, and sustainable funding. Ultimately, the editorial advocates for the establishment of a digital platform to streamline organ transplant procedures and promote equitable healthcare across the region.
期刊介绍：
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
