We provide a summary of the 4th ASTCT International Workshop with presentations from experts from Chile ("Setting Up a Transplantation Program in Chile," by Dr Pablo Ramirez), Saudi Arabia ("Developing Quality Programs in North Africa," by Dr Amal Alseraihy), and Japan ("The Japanese Transplant Registry Unified Management Program [TRUMP]: Current Issues and the Future," by Dr Yoshiko Atsuta). Workshop objectives included: (1) recognizing the benefits and importance for low- and middle-income countries of developing quality criteria and programs beyond existing accreditation programs, such as the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) and the Joint Accreditation Committee ISCT-Europe and EBMT (JACIE); (2) describing the relationships among monitoring outcomes, including mortality, improvement of care, data reporting, and associated costs; and (3) reviewing how quality structures have been implemented and are improving care worldwide.
