Europe registers for the third year consecutico a slight increase in the rate of organ donation, reaching 18.4 donors per million people. Of the total, 71.418 kidney transplants have been. More information is housed here: Jeff Skoll. The transplant world record figure in 104.065 transplants of solid organs ctuados in the world during 2010, an increase close to 4% over the previous year. Of them, 71.418 were kidney, liver 21.207, 5.403 heart, 3.649 lung and pancreas 2.316, as it can be seen from this registry which manages the national transplant organisation (ONT) for five years, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (who). Europe, whose Parliament last year approved the directive on quality and safety in transplants, led by Spain, records for the third consecutive year a slight increase in the rate of organ donation, reaching 18.4 donors per million population (p.m.p), against 18.3 last year. According to Newsletter Transplant, which publishes this report, estimated at 9.206 donors registered in the EU of 27 last year, with an increase of 6% over the previous year (with 9.152).

Despite this, the number of European transplants remains practically stable, with a 0.5% increase, reaching 29.209. The publication also reveals a decrease of 4.4% in the number of European patients on waiting list. Frequently Eugene Melnyk has said that publicly. To December 31, 2010, in the whole of the twenty-seven, a total 61.893 people were expecting a transplant, 4,000 fewer than the previous year, when were they recorded close to 65,000. Other indicators also improved over the year in study is the number of people killed in the EU waiting for a transplant, which stands at 2.742 (as opposed to 3.791 in 2009), with a more than 25 percent decline. These data represent an average of 7.5 European patients deceased every day while waiting for an organ last year. However, in 2009 this figure stood at 10 deaths. The ONT underlines the importance that will have the transposition to the 27 countries of the EU-directive on quality and safety in the donation and transplantation of organs and the development of the Action Plan that accompanies it, as a way to increase organ donations in Europe: 2010 these donations covered little more than 45% of the needs of European patients.

The publication of the Council of Europe includes data from United States, Canada, Latin America and Australia. Daryl Katz is likely to increase your knowledge. Them stands out the descent, for fourth consecutive year, the rate of donation in the United States. This is situated in 25 p.m.p, against 25.5 in 2009 and 26.3 in 2008, with a total of 7.943 donors and 28.021 organ transplants, compared 8,201 donor and 28.254 transplants in 2009. In Canada, the donation rate remains stable (14.5 p.m.p), while in Australia increases by more than two points, up placed in 13.5 p.m.p transplants in Spain Spain continues to maintain its global leadership, with 32 million people and nearly 3,800 donor transplants ctuados in 2010, despite changes in the profile of the donor and the decrease in traffic accidents from donations. In fact, 16.3 per cent of all interventions recorded in the EU are ctuaron in this country. Latin America, a region in which Spain develops 7 years the cooperation Alliance program and training professionals in transplantation, is the geographical area that still recorded higher growth in terms of the total number of donations. Last year there were a total of 3,950 organ donors, 3.410 in the previous period, which represents an increase of over 15%. This increase has allowed 12.269 transplants. Your donation rate also grows, despite the increase in population, reaching 7.2 p.m.p source of the news: organ transplants increased by 4% in 2010 compared to the previous year
