Child Organ Allocation Advocacy: An International Initiative
The International Pediatric Transplant Association
(IPTA) believes it is important to represent the community of members,
patients, and families it serves. By broadening the scope of advocacy, we
promote the cause of children and young people who will benefit from
transplants around the world.
The International Advocacy group has been shedding
light to the current landscape of pediatric transplant organ allocation. To
date, pediatric patient wait list mortality continues to exist due to the persistent
disparity between organ supply and demand.
Below is one of two questionnaires that aims to identify
current pediatric transplant programs and allocation policies around the world.
Once the first questionnaire is filed, a second short survey dedicated to your
area of specialty will be forwarded.
Thank you for your participation in the IPTA. We
invite you to read more about our initiative in our most recent publication on
this topic at, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/petr.14317
Thank you!
