Patients benefit from a larger donor pool, resulting in shorter transplant waiting times, with significant benefits for paediatric patients.
Donated organs that are not allocated domestically can be offered for international exchange, thereby optimizing organ utilization.
Member countries share medical, coordinating, legal and ethical expertise in transplant medicine.
The Foedus shows how international cooperation can help improve healthcare in member countries.
