Honoring a legacy, empowering the future.
At DTI Foundation, we are proud to continue the legacy of Dr. José Manuel García Buitrón, a pioneer in organ donation and transplantation and a founding member of our foundation, through the Pepe Buitrón Scholarship.
This initiative reflects Dr. Buitrón’s deep commitment to equity, solidarity, and the advancement of global healthcare by supporting the training of professionals from low- and middle-income countries.
With your support, we can keep his legacy alive and expand the reach of his impact.
Dr. Buitrón was a transplant urologist, former director of the Oficina de Coordinación de Trasplantes and Hospital Manager of Hospital Canalejo in A Coruña, Spain. He was also a founding member and Vice President of DTI Foundation.
For more than 30 years, he actively promoted training and cooperation in countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, the Philippines, and Cuba, among many others. His work continues to inspire healthcare professionals around the world.
