Organ donors at record high

In 2025, Greece achieved a record high in organ donations and transplants, with 137 deceased donors, representing 13.1 donors per million people, the highest ever recorded. This marks a 23% increase from 2024. Of the 306 potential donors, 30% faced family refusal, while 31% had families initiate donation discussions. A total of 285 transplants were performed using deceased donors, with an additional 93 kidney and one liver transplant from living donors, resulting in 388 beneficiaries overall. The National Transplant Organization emphasized the need to reach 200 annual deceased donors by 2030.
