"I call myself an international transplant coordinator," he explains.

The transplant coordinator told me it was from a child.

But experts say there are other factors, including the skill of the transplant coordinator.

We already have some good examples in Member States where the addition of transplant coordinators, for example, has had a positive impact on donation rates.

In countries that use transplant coordinators of this kind, the number of donors rises.

There is no doubt but that transplant coordinators have to be appointed in the intensive care units of European hospitals.

I would especially like to underline the role of the transplant coordinator or coordination team, the importance of which is beyond question.

Spain has organised this much better with its transplant coordinators.

What we need to do is coordinate them and I think that the appointment of a transplant coordinator in hospitals is an important step.

When a transplant coordinator saw their medical records and told the two families they might be able to help each other, they seized the opportunity.
