About Us

The World Transplant Games Federation

Our purpose is to visibly demonstrate the benefits of successful organ transplantation, work to increase public awareness of its success and thereby increase organ donation rates, as well as promote the full rehabilitation and wellbeing of our participants.

Have we been successful? YES! We have achieved a 30% or better increase in organ donation rates in those countries which have hosted the Games.

And YES, we have helped in the full rehabilitation of people after a successful organ transplant.
Much remains to be done though - we need to do more to bridge the gap between the need for an organ transplant and the hundreds of thousands of people who die each year because one is not available. This objective can only be achieved by our continuing efforts to promote the benefits of transplantation by staging our summer and winter Games and using every opportunity to sensitize the public to the need for more organ donors.
