Gloria de la Rosa, Constantino Fondevila, Miquel Navasa – 20 May 2016 – Liver transplantation (LT) activity started in Spain in 1984 and has exceeded 23,700 interventions, with more than 1000 transplants performed yearly.

The Spanish National Transplant Organization (ONT) provides essential support for organ procurement, allocation, and management of the waiting list at a national level.
