Achievement of ISN

• From 10 founding members and 300 in 1994 (25th ISNCON) to nearly 2000.
• Marked expansion in the dialysis and Tx facilities.
• Major growth in scientific contributions and publications. More participation in the nephrology conferences with support from ISN and other bodies.
• Huge expansion of dialysis centers occurring but no regulatory authority-water purity, adequacy.
• Difficult to meet the demand and supply but public participation in organ donation programs may help.
