"Organ transplants must take place quickly. No more than a couple of hours must elapse between removal and transplantation. Therefore public awareness and public opinion play an important role in increasing organ donation.
Organ donation and transplantation are medical procedures, and in order for them to be further developed there must be full public involvement and greater public awareness. The most effective means of increasing public readiness would appear to be improving knowledge of transplant issues among the public and the media. This must be the first step.
Secondly, I would like to emphasise that, given that there is currently no European coordination of organ exchange, making an improvement in that area is very important, specifically with regard to coordination of the system for organ exchange such as it currently exists between the Member States, for example through a European donor card or a European hotline."@en1
