Saving lives, enriching lives. Together we can do it.
The Dutch Transplantation Foundation (NTS) is committed to a fair, smart and future-proof donation and transplantation process. Together we save and enrich human lives.
Our mission
Organ transplantations save hundreds of lives every year. Tissue transplantations improve the quality of life for many more people. Together we save and enrich human lives: everyone in the Netherlands who needs an organ or tissue receives it on time. As a passionate chain director, we realize a fair, smart and future-proof donation and transplantation process with our (inter)national cooperation partners. With appreciation for donors and attention to their loved ones.
Our joint goal
For the period 2025–2030, we have drawn up a multi-year strategy with our cooperation partners. We realize that we can only achieve these ambitions together.
For the coming years, we have a clear ambition with our cooperation partners: a fair and smart donation and transplantation process that is ready for the future. The NTS plays a directing role in this. We connect, inspire and facilitate cooperation partners.
Stimulating innovation and research
We make decisions based on data, share data with our partners to optimize processes and structurally evaluate our choices. This is how we work together to ensure that more organs and tissues are usable for transplantation and last longer. We make the chain from donation to transplantation more value-driven by initiating, directing, facilitating and implementing (inter)national research and innovation.
Starting the conversation about organ and tissue donation
With careful and accessible information, we ensure that Dutch people know what organ and tissue donation means. We also stimulate the conversation about donation in society, at the kitchen table and in healthcare, so that people can make a conscious choice and are aware of the choice of their loved ones in the Donor Register.
