Section snippets
Purpose and Scope
As a general objective, the 40 Donor pmp Plan seeks to increase the average rate of deceased donors to 40 pmp between 2008 and 2010. It should be noted that living donation activity would also be further augmented.
The areas of improvement, the goals, and the actions are all integrated within the framework of the 40 Donors pmp Plan, based upon a deep reflection of analyzed data and material generated from multidisciplinary conferences and discussions at symposia organized ad hoc by the ONT as
Key Areas for Action

More than 1,000 LT/year are performed in Spain, which translates in the highest European transplant rate (25 pmp) and one of the highest European organ donation rates (39.7 pmp), with an increasing trend over time.39 Since 2008, a nationwide plan has been put in place to identify potential donors to be referred to appropriate ICUs.
