MESSAGE OF THE BOARD

Dear Visitor,
 
Assalaamu alaikum & Greetings.
 
The Saudi Society of Nephrology and Transplantation (SSN&T) was founded in 2001, under the initiative of King Saud University (www.ksu.edu.sa) , a premier educational institution in the Middle-East. 

We at the SSN&T aim to promote the prevention and treatment of kidney disease through leadership, education research and scientific communication.

Our goal is to impart scientific knowledge in the Nephrology & Transplantation field. We have an accessible team dedicated to improving the renal care. To help accomplish this purpose, the Society is committed in organizing activities which include workshops, courses, seminars, and international conferences. These activities have been highly successful, reflecting the commitment and contributions of the society’s activities.

Whether you are a member, prospective member or simply an information seeker, we want your experience to be enriching while visiting our website, wherein you shall find an exhaustive Q&A / FAQs section in Arabic discussing the renal disease. Further to this end our website would be used as an important portal for communication between the society and its members. We are as well facilitating our esteemed members with two international online journals (HDCN & PDI).

We are an enthusiastic contributor to the scientific movement and as such frequent visitors can always find new relevant information on our site.

Thank you.
