The number of transplants carried out in Italy is set to grow significantly this year, according to ANSA.
"According to this year's projections, transplants are set to rise to 4,392 compared to 4,079 last year," said Salvatore Gruttadauria, the director of abdominal surgery at Palermo's Ismett institute and the chair of the congress.
"The increase is nationwide. But I want to stress the magnificent result achieved by Sicily, which hosts the congress this year.Our region has gone from being at the bottom for the number of organ donations to being one of Italy's best regions, going from 15 to 30 donors per million inhabitants".
