Dear Colleagues, Dear Partners,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 18th Congress of the African Association
of Nephrology (AFRAN), which will take place from April 15th to 18th, 2025, in Tunis,
Tunisia.
This event will be jointly organized with the 9th North African Congress of Nephrology and
the 12th National Congress of the Tunisian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, and
Transplantation (STNDT), with the aim of enhancing and strengthening cooperation within
the African nephrology community.
The scientific committee is working to build an exciting scientific program that will cover the
main fields of Nephrology, with pre-congress courses, plenary sessions, focused
workshops, free communications, and poster presentations.
The topics will include clinical nephrology, dialysis, kidney transplantation, hypertension,
interventional nephrology, onco-nephrology, renal nutrition, green nephrology,
nephrolithiasis, and the screening and prevention of chronic kidney diseases.
This event, involving a large number of distinguished and outstanding experts with the
endorsement of the international and regional societies, will allow you to be updated and to
share your experiences in all sectors of kidney diseases. Special attention will be paid to
the accomplishments achieved by our countries and the challenges we face to ensure
equitable access to sustainable kidney health for all people on our continent.
All stakeholders involved in healthcare delivery, medical education, and patient care at all
career stages are invited to attend and participate actively in this event.
Stay tuned for updates on further details regarding the scientific program, registration, and
