Organ Donation and Transplantation Worldwide: The Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation 2024 Report

Solid organ transplantation has evolved globally as an established and life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure.

Since 2007, the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation (GODT), an initiative of the World Health Organization in collaboration with the Organización Nacional de Trasplantes (Spain), collects data and reports on the activity of World Health Organization member states in regard to solid organ donation, transplantation, and waitlisting. This ongoing effort provides insights into transplant activities in countries with different healthcare systems and practices, economic and cultural contexts, and local disease burdens.
