Heart transplantation
Every year around 300 hearts are transplanted in Germany. About 700 patients are on the waiting list for a heart transplant. Since the heart and lungs are very closely connected via their blood circulation, a disease can affect both organs.

But a „bright light“ is anyone who deals with the subject and makes a decision.

Hi, my name is René!
I need your help and someday unfortunately also
a donor liver.
Many of you know me from various trainings, from national and international conferences or my posts from #WJochenende. After several years of professional and WJ full throttle, I pushed the constant fatigue and almost no recovery on overexertion and went – completely unconcerned – to my family doctor. In the following health check irregularities of the liver were discovered …
UPDATE: René has got a new liver – Read full story here:
During the gala evening of the Hesse State Conference 2019 in Fulda I had the opportunity to tell „my story“. Please watch the video. (german audio only)

MehrDas Thema Organspende war für mich eigentlich nie wirklich ein Thema. Ja, auch ich gehörte zu den Menschen, die der Meinung waren „das trifft doch nur die anderen“ und „wird mir schon nicht passieren“.

As a Protestant clinic pastor (since 2015), I go from room to room in my areas, visit patients (all those who have a temporary bed here and give them time and offer them a conversation on YOUR topic.
A Podcast
The topic of organ donation can affect everyone.
And when it comes to a surprise, then the circumstance is usually more like you would like to turn back the clock a bit … unless you are a recipient for a donor organ. The topic can hit anybody out of the blue. In this episode my interviewees as well as myself are keen to encourage as many as possible to deal with the issue, to make a decision for or against it, and not just document this on an organ donor card (a cross with yes or no ) but also to communicate with his family / friends.
Organ DONATION
In Germany, about 9,500 people are on the waiting list
This puts Germany in the lead – unfortunately only with the most patients on the waiting list compared to other member states of the Eurotransplant network. We have to change this with your help, no matter which way the politicians decide.
Every year new patients are added who urgently need an organ. In 2018, for example, around 5,000 new people were added to the waiting list. Only about 10% of the patients on this list actually received a donor organ in 2018. In the same period, unfortunately, 901 people – that is almost another 10% – have died, while waiting for a donor organ ….
