Duties and responsibilities

Swisstransplant is the Swiss national office in charge of allocating organs to recipients in accordance with Swiss law. We work at a national level to organise and coordinate all activities related to organ allocation and also cooperate with similar organisations outside of Switzerland. We are also responsible in Switzerland for maintaining the waiting list of organ recipients and for creating relevant statistics.

The National Committee for Organ Donation (CNDO) came about in early 2009 through integration of the Swiss Foundation for Organ Donation (FSOD). It is dedicated to promoting organ and tissue donation in Switzerland.
