title: Organ transplantation in Poland. A registry report.
abstract: Solid organ transplantation program in Poland is very limited. The main reason of this is organ shortage. All the organs procured are transplanted. It is a general feeling that recently issued legal regulations will favorably influence organ donation, however the improvement may be expected within a few years and will require very active educational campaign among society and medical staff. National Transplant Council prepared the plans of organ transplantation for the nearest five years. These plans were met with full support of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and Health Committee of the Polish Parlament.
