In the opening speech, Dr. Mitra Mahdavi Mazdeh, the Head of the Iranian Tissue Bank and Research Center and the Research Deputy of the largest hospital of TUMS, thanked Professor El Nahas to kindly accept the invitation and travel to Iran to hold the master class for the second year and hoped it could be of help to the participating nephrologists.
Thanking Dr. Mahdavi and other authorities for the occasion, Professor El Nahas, a faculty member of the University of Sheffield at Sheffield Kidney Institute, also expressed his delight for being back again and holding the second renal transplantation master class and regretted that Professor Paul Cockwell, a renowned expert in renal transplantation from Birmingham University, had missed the trip because of some formalities.
He first introduced the Global Kidney Academy (GKA) and its Online Academy's resources and courses which were offered free of charge to the members, its real time discussions, clinical discussion forums, online clinical advisory service and the real time case discussion capabilities of GKA site. He then informed of plans for the development of a universal primary care education covering topics such as CKD, NCD, CVD, HTN and diabetes mellitus.
Later Professor El Nahas introduced the International Nephrology Education Foundation (iNEF), an international charity organization established by himself, which tries to improve healthcare in emerging economies through fostering Education and Leadership in the field of Medicine and Nephrology.
INEF tries to promotes excellence and leadership amongst young emerging physicians and nephrologists. It also gives the Magdi Francis Memorial Prize to nephrologist or pathologist under the age of 45 who have made a substantial contribution to service provision, teaching or research in Renal histopathology in Emerging countries, he added.
Professor El Nahas also mentioned three other awards given by the organization: Leadership in Nephrology Education Award, GKA Ambassador of the Year Award which he said had been dedicated to Professor Mitra Mahdavi-Mazdeh in 2010, for her excellent organization of the first Global Kidney Academy Master Class in Tehran and finally the Innovation in Education Award.
