Reporting point for organ transplantation travel movements

At the online Reporting Point for Organ Transplantation Travel Movements, you report organ transplantations of Dutch patients who travel abroad for this purpose.

What is the purpose of this reporting point?

The reporting point is intended to gain insight into foreign transplantations of Dutch patients. Why is this important?

  • We want to better understand what is going on.
  • We want to develop targeted preventive policy where necessary.
  • We want to strengthen international cooperation.
  • We want to increase the safety of patients and donors.

The reports are analyzed for signals of potential illegal transplantations. In this way, the reporting point contributes to combating organ trafficking and improving national and international regulations.

Important:

  • Through the online form, you indicate that you want to make a report. You will then receive a questionnaire and someone from the NTS will contact you.
  • A report contains no names, citizen service numbers (BSN) or dates of birth of involved persons.
