By the end of 2025 the inauguration of Onassis Transplant Center, As announced by Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis in a post.

The minister who visited Monday, Onassios and attended a transplant workshop posted relevant evidence, stating, inter alia, that 2024 was a landmark year, as more than 60% increased by organ donors and more than doubled transplants.

The post of Minister of Health:

“The data of 2025 fills us with hope: everything shows that we are moving towards a new historical record.
Let me share some indicative items with you:
In 2024 completed:
• 151 kidney transplants,
• 123 kidney transplants from living donors,
• 52 liver transplants and, for the first time, 2 liver transplants from living donors,
• 23 heart transplants,
• 12 lung transplants,
• 2 double transplants of pancreas and kidney (also for the first time),
• 1 double kidney and liver transplantation,
• 1 double heart and lung transplantation (for the first time in our country).
In total, 367 transplants from deceased and live donors.
The organ donation index for 2024 amounted to 10.6 donors per million population – a historical record for our country.

And already in 2025, by April 15, they have been carried out:
• 53 kidney transplants,
• 26 kidney transplants from living donors,
• 18 liver transplants,
• 4 heart transplants,
• 2 lung transplants.
Total: 103 transplants.
But behind every number there is a life story.
A child who is back in his school yard, a father who hugs his children, a woman dreaming of tomorrow.
And every life that is earned is a victory of love, offer and hope.
This progress is not accidental.
It is the result of a strategic political choice: Transplant activity is a national priority for the Ministry of Health and of course Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Specifically:
• We have strengthened the National Transplantation Organization (EOM) with 8 new Central Central Coordinators,
• We have created a network of local coordinators with 20 coordinators in donor hospitals,
• We train doctors and nursing staff through the “Organ Meetings” program implemented by the Onassis Foundation,
• We strengthen the culture of donation and trust.
Soon, an informative email will be sent by HIDA to all citizens and there will also be a notice through the Myhealth App, to register with the National Donor Register and Tissue Register“
