Organ and tissue donation in Italy

Overview

Reports from various Italian healthcare regions indicate ongoing activities in tissue and organ donation programs.

In the Ulss 9 region, the “Donate the Placenta” programme concluded its first year of operation with 74 placental tissue donations collected from hospitals in San Bonifacio, Legnago, and Villafranca. This collected tissue, particularly the amniotic membrane, is utilized in regenerative and reconstructive medicine for treating burns, corneal injuries, and complex lesions.

In the Abruzzo region, hospitals in L'Aquila and Pescara reported five organ donations between July and August. These donations facilitated nine transplants at the San Salvatore hospital in L'Aquila, including nine kidney transplants. Additionally, organs such as hearts, livers, and lungs were distributed to several other Italian cities, including Rome, Bergamo, Pisa, Bologna, and Siena.
