Indian Society of Organ Transplantation (ISOT) was formed 2 decades ago in Madurai by a small group of Renal Physicians with the sole objective of getting together transplant professionals (transplant surgeons, physicians, scientists, social workers) as a group to share their knowledge and help the patients suffering from end stage organ failure with hope in the form of Organ Transplantation. The ISOT which started as a handful of doctors now has hundreds of professionals in its organisation and meets every year to discuss and deliberate various scientific, legal and social aspects of transplantation.
