title: Scandiatransplant: organ transplantation in the Nordic countries 1996.
abstract: The Nordic collaboration in organ transplantation was initiated nearly 30 years ago in the frame of Scandiatransplant. With a recent formalization of its structure, Scandiatransplant has become a modern organ exchange organization. The increasing activities of Scandiatransplant clearly reflect the continuously growing need for a close and firm Nordic collaboration in the transplantation field, for the benefit of the numerous patients waiting for an organ transplant.
