Declaration of Istanbul<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Organ transplantation is one of the life-saving medical breakthroughs of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Over the years, growing renal transplant waiting lists and a discrepancy in organ supply and demand have marred this accomplishment and given rise to a network of illegal traffickers who exploit the vulnerability of patients desperately waiting for a life-saving transplant.<\/p>\n

While illegal transplantation may seem like a \u201cwin-win\u201d for the recipient in need of a kidney and a donor in need of money, the long-term effects are devastating to both parties and negatively impacts healthcare systems.<\/p>\n

The Declaration of Istanbul (DoI)<\/a> calls on the medical community, especially transplant surgeons and nephrologists, to join the World Health Organization (WHO) in putting pressure on Health Ministries with a transplantation program to eliminate organ trafficking and transplant tourism. The DoI is promoted, implemented, and upheld by the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group (DICG)<\/a>.
