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 have the 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 read the Participant Information Sheet, which explains more about the study and what participation involves. To access the survey directly please click on your preferred language: 

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