Europe is facing a severe shortage of organs. Spain is the world leader in organ donations, but on the other side of the spectrum is Bulgaria and Cyprus, which have very few donors. The EU is looking into patching up these inequalities with a better-coordinated transplantation network so that people don’t die waiting for a transplant.

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and made available in 9 languages through a European media partnership named EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for “European Media Hubs” within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
