Donating organs – a gift of life |
 |
|
|
|
Even though Swiss people look upon organ transplantation favorably, the gap between the number of patients in need of an
organ and the number of available donor organs increases constantly. Comparing donation willingness in Europe,
Switzerland is situated in the last third, resulting in waiting times of up to several years for certain organs.
In the future, innovative methods, developed at the University Hospital in Zurich, may help alleviate the current
shortage of donor organs.
