Italy registered a record 1,830
donations of human organs, tissue and stem cells in 2022, a 3.7%
increase with respect to the previous year, the National Health
Service's Transplant Network said on Tuesday.
It added that the number of transplants done last year rose by
2.5% to 3,887.
The report added, however, that there is still too much
resistance to organ donations in Italy.
It said 14 million people had registered what they want to
happen to their organs when they die, with 28% saying they do
not want them to be donated.
That percentage climbs to around 40% in southern Italy.
