The examination commission, the monitoring commission, the German Medical Association, the German Hospital Association and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds have agreed on a joint declaration for “More transparency and more efficient control in transplant medicine”.

Federal Health Minister Daniel Bahr welcomes this declaration as an important first step: “I welcome the fact that the self-governing bodies are now drawing the first conclusions and presenting the first proposals. We will discuss these and other points together at the meeting on August 27th at the Federal Ministry of Health. Trust in organ donation and the procedures involved in organ donation must be restored. We can only achieve this together.”
