      • ORGAN COORDINATION OFFICE
        „TRANSPLANTS SAVE LIVES”
        The Organ Coordination Office (OCO) is responsible for all Hungarian organ and tissue procurement coordination from the cadaver donor report through the end of retrieval, in accordance with Governmental Decree 323/2006 (XII.23) by operating three levels of the transplant donor coordination network (national, regional and hospital coordinators). The HNBTS serves as contracting partner in the Eurotransplant preliminary cooperation agreement.

 

      • HUNGARIAN STEM CELL DONOR REGISTRY
