A Message from Our Chairs
Prof. Paschal Joseph Ruggajo
Congress Chair · President, NESOT
On behalf of the Nephrology Society of Tanzania, we are honoured to welcome colleagues from around the world to the 19th AFRAN Congress.
This congress, held jointly with the 11th NESOT Scientific Conference, marks the first time AFRAN convenes in East Africa — a landmark achievement for Tanzania and the continent. We have prepared a programme covering all major fields: dialysis, transplantation, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and prevention.
We look forward to welcoming you to Dar es Salaam — the City of Peace — where world-class science meets the warmth and natural beauty of Tanzania.
Prof. Abdou Niang
Congress Co-Chair · President, AFRAN
Dear colleagues from around the world — we warmly invite you to join us in Dar es Salaam for the 19th AFRAN Congress.
Hosting AFRAN in East Africa for the first time is a milestone in our association’s history. Tanzania and NESOT have demonstrated exceptional dedication to advancing kidney health, and I am proud we mark this occasion together. Our theme — Equity, Sustainability, and Innovation — captures the future we must build for African nephrology.
I invite every nephrologist, nurse, researcher, and health advocate from across Africa and beyond to be part of this congress. Together, we will shape the future of kidney care on our continent.
