Udeme Ekong - Health Disparities in Organ Transplantation

Bowel Sounds: The Pediatric GI Podcast

April is National Minority Health Month and National Donate Life Month. In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Temara Hajjat and Jennifer Lee talk to Dr. Udeme Ekong about disparities in transplant hepatology. We discuss the importance of organ donation and the impact of COVID-19 on patients pre and post-liver transplant, how transplant centers are managing deceased and living donor programs, and COVID-19 vaccination in pediatric patients.
As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
