Worldwide, thousands of people suffer or die waiting for an organ. While the majority of the population favors organ donation and transplantation, for a variety of reasons the potential of organ donation is still underexploited.

Fairtransplant contributes to increase awareness on the positive values of organ donation and transplantation by fostering initiatives, producing information material, and supporting events in the field of organ donation and transplantation.
