Child Organ Allocation Advocacy: An International Initiative

The International Pediatric Transplant Association (IPTA) is dedicated to advocating for equitable access to life-saving transplants for children worldwide. Despite advancements in transplant medicine, disparities in organ allocation persist, with pediatric waitlist mortality remaining a critical challenge. Addressing this issue requires a global effort to understand current practices and identify areas for improvement.

The IPTA International Advocacy Group has developed a survey to gather insights on pediatric liver transplant allocation policies and programs worldwide. We have made organ-specific surveys. Your input is vital in helping us map the current landscape and advance strategies that can save more young lives. Please see the links to the surveys below.

We encourage you to complete the survey specific to your specialty within the next two weeks. Your participation will directly contribute to shaping the future of pediatric transplant care. The results will be presented at the IPTA World Congress in 2025, where they will serve as a foundation for discussion, collaboration, and impactful change.

Please answer the survey that applies to your area of expertise.

Thank you for supporting this critical initiative and helping us build a brighter future for children who need transplants!

Mentoring Program

IPTA promotes involvement of all of its members, especially those in their early career or those who work in places where publication is not considered a priority in the scientific community. For this purpose, a mentoring program has been developed. Hereby, early career researchers can access research projects improving their publication yield.
