Associa-Med’s “Donate Life” Conferences
Associa-Med is thrilled to reflect on the immense success of our recent “Donate Life” conferences and awareness marathon, organized in powerful partnership with the National Centre for Organ Transplant Promotion (CNPTO) and Tunisia’s four medical faculties in Tunis, Sousse, Sfax, and Monastir.
In celebration of World Organ Donation Day on October 17, 2024, these special information days were simultaneously held across all four faculties. Designed for students in medicine, nursing, and other paramedical disciplines, the conferences provided a deep dive into the crucial medical, legal, and religious aspects of organ donation. A highlight for many attendees was the series of inspiring testimonies from organ recipients, offering invaluable real-world perspectives.
The engagement and enthusiasm from the student community were truly remarkable, underscoring the vital importance of raising awareness and understanding around organ donation.
Sfax Awareness Marathon
Building on the momentum of the conferences, an impactful awareness marathon also took place on October 20, 2024, at Place des 100 mètres in Sfax. This event extended our outreach beyond the academic setting, featuring various activities and entertainment that further amplified the message about the critical importance of organ donation to the wider public.
These “Donate Life” initiatives represent Associa-Med’s unwavering commitment to fostering public health education and promoting life-saving awareness. A huge thank you to our partners at CNPTO, the medical faculties, all the dedicated organizers, and every student who participated and helped make these events a resounding success!
