"Organ transplantation: Committee warns against Global Kidney Exchange programme"

Council of Europe

The Council of Europe Committee on Organ Transplantation (CD-P-T0), with the support of the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics (DH-BIO), has issued a recommendation to the Member States of the Council of Europe, as well as health authorities, hospitals and professionals not to engage in Global Kidney Exchange (GKE) programmes and hence to consider the inclusion of "financially incompatible" donor-recipient pairs in kidney exchange programmes.
