ISHLT has joined with a number of other societies to support a survey about transplant professionals’ experience of providing care to patients who have travelled internationally for organ donation or transplantation. ISHLT members will have an opportunity to participate in the survey, anonymously, via the links below.

The survey aims to find out about professionals’ recent experiences, or lack of experience, in providing care for patients who have travelled to or from their country for organ donation or transplantation. The survey is focused on international travel for organ transplantation (ITOT) in general, not only travel that might involve transplant “tourism.”

Please contact the research team as outlined in the Participant Information Sheet if you have any questions about the study. The survey will close on 15 December, 2024, and no extensions will be made.

This project is possible through the support of the Asian Society of Transplantation, the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group, the European Society of Organ Transplantation, the International Pediatric Transplant Association, the International Society of Nephrology, the International Society for Organ Donation and Procurement, the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, la Sociedad de Trasplante de América Latina y el Caribe, and The Transplantation Society.
