All these aspects were covered by the experts during several didactic sessions.

The participants also attended a Workshop on Family Empowerment through Effective Advocacy: Averting and Overcoming Obstacles to Donation and a a Donation Champion Learning Session titled ‘Supporting Families and Sharing Best Practices’.
