... http://www.nature.com/isn/news/soc_announ/fullview.html?content_id=75118 Former ISN Fellow becomes director of National Transplant Agency in Moldova Dr Igor Codreanu has recently been appointed Director of the National Transplant Agency in Moldova. His successful ISN Fellowship at the Mario Negri Institute in Italy helped him contribute to developing new legislation and organize a structure to fund more transplants in Moldova. “Activities with the European Council and the Sister Renal Centers partnership were valuable in getting new legislation approved in 2008. The National Transplant Agency has now been set up and is one of the first of its kind in Moldova and the former Soviet Union countries. It will establish a transplant system which ensures easier access to patient transplantation services,” explains Dr Codreanu. This agency is responsible for organizing and supervising all national transplant activities including organ, tissue and cell donation and procurement. It will also establish and maintain national transplant recipient waiting lists as well as allocate, exchange and transport organs, tissues and cells nationally and internationally. Another responsibility is to approve transplant teams and institutions; ensure safety, quality standards and traceability of all organs, tissues and cells; monitor and audit transplantation procedures results and educate health professionals and the general public about transplantation. |
