EFA is happy to partner in the Pulmonary Hypertension Europe’s call to action on organ donation and transplantation, launched at the European Parliament. While lung transplantation is a last resort in COPD, for our patients it is also important that this option is available for patients when needed, and equally across the EU. This is not case currently. The hosting MEPs, including Ivan Jacovcic, Alojz Peterle and Hilde Vautmans very much echoed this. It was also great hear about the systems in place in Spain and the UK, whereby they have been able to significantly improve and keep improving donations, and therefore availability for all patients in need for transplantation and how crosborder EU collaboration can help. This is the case between Austria and Hungary.   If you would like to support the call to action, here is how: http://www.phaeurope.org/projects-activities/advocacy/call-to-action-on-organ-donation-and-transplantation/
