Eurotransplant

Eurotransplant is an international non-profit organization that coordinates organ transplantation services across its eight member countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Established in 1967, the foundation manages a centralized database of patients awaiting transplants and facilitates the allocation of donor organs based on medical and ethical criteria. By operating a 24/7 service, Eurotransplant ensures that available organs are matched with the most suitable recipients within its network to maximize transplant success and survival rates. The organization plays a critical role in harmonizing transplantation standards and fostering cooperation between transplant centers, laboratories, and donor hospitals throughout Europe.
