22 Organ Transplants Performed in Luxembourg in 2024

The Ministry of Health has released new data showing that 22 organ transplants were successfully performed in Luxembourg last year, while seven people donated organs in the country during 2024.

According to the report, 104 patients were registered on the national transplant waiting list—17 more than in the previous year. Of these, 48 were newly added, while two were removed.

In addition, 36 patients from Luxembourg received organ transplants abroad.

Health Minister Martine Deprez emphasised the importance of individual responsibility in declaring organ donation preferences: “Organ donation is an essential act of solidarity. With the implementation of the Shared Care Record (DSP), it is important to give your opinion to clearly express your wishes.”

Luxembourg residents can record their decision regarding organ donation through the electronic Shared Care Record (DSP). Upon first login, users can choose to accept or refuse organ donation, and this record can later be consulted by doctors after a person’s death.

Under the amended law of 25 November 1982, anyone who has not expressed opposition is considered a potential organ donor.
