Establishment of National Transplantation Organization

Slovakia will establish the National Transplantation Organization, which will be a coordinating article in all transplantation processes with specific tasks and mandates. Until now the issue of transplantation was handled by Slovak Organ Transplantation Centre, which, however, had no legal personality and was incorporated into the organization structure of Slovak Medical University. To meet the Directive of European Parliament and Council of European Union, Slovakia will transform the center into the separate subsidized organization, as is standard in many european countries.
