Guarantee donor and recipient anonymity

The NTS publishes a lot of data about the donation or transplantation of organs or tissues. We do everything we can to guarantee the anonymity of donor and recipient.

As a journalist, it is also important to be alert to this and to prevent a donor and recipient from being able to discover each other's identity. Therefore, when writing stories on this topic, avoid details that reveal anything about the time, place, and specific circumstances of a donation or transplantation.
