Hello everyone, To contribute positive news to the day, I have seen this news on the DiarioFarma website where they have written an article this week that exposes the data of how Spain has become the world leader in organ donation

Here is the summary of the news with the help of AI:

"Spain consolidates its WORLD LEADERSHIP in organ donation for more than 30 years (34 in 2026), according to data from the National Transplant Organization (ONT) published in January 2026. In 2025, 2,547 deceased donors were registered, practically equal to the record of 2024, and 408 living donors (402 kidney and 6 liver).

This allowed 6,335 TRANSPLANTS to be performed, exceeding 6,300 procedures for the second consecutive year. Breakdown: 3,999 kidney (stable), 1,276 liver, 556 lung, 390 heart (+12%, historical record), 103 pancreatic and 11 intestinal

Donation in asystole reached 56% of the total. SPAIN IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT TRANSPLANTS ALL TYPES OF DONOR ORGANS IN ASISTOLIA and leads the world in volume

Spain far surpasses other countries, including the US, Italy, France and the EU average. This growth is highlighted by the communities of Cantabria (103.4), Navarra (88.2) and Asturias (64.4) leading the way; Aragon grew by +71%

At the same time, the ONT Strategy 2025-2030 was announced, which seeks to increase deceased donors (reducing refusals, expanding criteria including HIV+), promoting live donation, improving equitable access and strengthening coordination teams"
