What is the relationship between Fairtransplant and Swisstransplant, since some of its representatives belong to both?
Fairtransplant’s aim is to promote organ donation and transplantation. In this sense, it is normal that it shares its objectives and members with Swisstransplant, the organism responsible for donor procurement and organ allocation in Switzerland. However, Fairtransplant’s mission does not include work with organs and patients, while on the other hand Fairtransplant is free to produce information/ support material, and to be concerned with initiatives intended to have an international impact. Conversely, Swisstransplant must limit itself to a national scale and cannot take up the responsibility for international initiatives.
