FOEDUS starting 7 May 2013

FOEDUS, funded by the European Union under the EU Health Programme, is a 3 years duration joint action aiming at:

  • finding a common methodology for the cross-border organ exchange through the analysis of the existing logistical and organizational barriers
  • developing a tested methodology to inform the general public about organ donation in general and international exchange of organs in particular, teaching experts to avoid wrong communication attitudes

A common form for international cross-border exchanges will be created with recommendations regarding standards for bi-multilateral agreement. It will be developed along with necessary medical information for speeding-up the procedures of screening donors and organs.

Taking advantage of COORENOR project, the cross-border organ exchange IT platform will be upgraded with donor forms, among other features. As a final point, a set of guidelines on how to communicate effectively about organ donation and cross border organ exchanges will be produced.
