250 organ transplants took place during 2022

The HSE’s Organ Donation Transplant Ireland Office (ODTI) reported that 250 organ transplants took place during 2022 thanks to the selflessness of 86 deceased and 33 living organ donors and their families. 

Across the three national transplant centres, 163 kidney, 10 heart, 18 lung, 51 liver and 8 pancreas transplants were completed. This includes kidney transplants from 33 living donors.

As we celebrate the lives that have been saved by transplants this year, we also remember that most organ donations can only proceed when another person donates after their death.
