Sat-075 Australian Engagement in International Travel for Organ Transplantation: a Descriptive Survey

Year: 2019

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: International travel for overseas transplantation (ITOT) is a practice in which individuals travel overseas with the intent of obtaining a transplanted organ. The potential risks for transplant recipients and donors and the ethical concerns regarding organ procurement has necessitated the founding of international bodies to actively identify and oppose illegal forms of the practice. In 2008, a summit convened by The Transplantation Society and the International Society of Nephrology established the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism, allowing for standardised identification of illegal activity in the sphere of transplantation, complementing international efforts to oppose organ trafficking.
