Eurotransplant is responsible for the allocation of donor organs in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Slovenia. This international collaborative framework includes all transplant hospitals, tissue-typing laboratories and hospitals where organ donations take place.
Mission:
Organ transplantation offers life-saving and quality-of-life enhancing treatment options to patients with end-stage organ failure. Aiming to fulfill this potential, Eurotransplant was established and acts as a mediator between donor hospitals and transplant centers, for the benefit of such patients.
Eurotransplant is a non-profit international service organization that facilitates patient-oriented allocation and cross-border exchange of deceased donor organs at the service of its member states.
As such,
• Eurotransplant manages the complex process of achieving the best possible match between available donor organs and patients on the transplant waiting list
• Eurotransplant acts transparently and in accordance with European Union regulations and ethical principles, and fully complies with national member states legislation
• Eurotransplant is actively engaged in developing best practice recommendations and policies to further improve organ allocation and transplant outcomes, based on robust data collection and state-of-the-art scientific research.
