The organ and tissue donation coordination unit at Caen Normandy University Hospital, in constant contact with the French Biomedicine Agency, has the primary mission of organizing organ donation activities (kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, etc.) as well as tissue (corneas, heart valves, blood vessels, etc.). In 2022, in France, approximately 1,700 donors were able to receive at least one organ. However, the number of patients on the waiting list remains very high (10,810 as of January 1, 2023).
Every June 22nd, the National Day of Reflection on Organ Donation and Transplantation and Recognition of Donors is held. The objective of this day, organized by the French Biomedicine Agency, is to encourage French people to share their views on organ donation with their families.
