In 2011, Spain became again the leader in transplantation, reaching a new record high. Thanks to 1.667 donors, it has been possible to perform 4.218 transplants involving almost 12% more than the previous year.
According to the ONT (National Transplant Organization) the increase in donations has much to do with the creation of a "Guide of good practice in the process of organ donation", the increase of live kidney donation and the decrease of the family refuses.
In Assisted Reproduction the number of egg and sperm donors is increasing as well making Spain a world reference in treatments of egg and/or sperm donations.
