During the past week, Donation & Transplantation Institute organized the Workshop: “Exploring a Successful and Sustainable Model of Donation and Transplantation” for a delegation from the Ministry of Health and the National Donation and Transplantation Agency (VNCCHOT) of Vietnam.

During this visit, the different representatives learned about the hospital units participating in the donation and transplantation process at the Hospital Clínic and the Hospital de Bellvitge.

Additionally, they also had the opportunity to discover the functioning of the donation and transplantation system in Catalonia through a visit to the Catalan Transplant Organization (OCATT), where Dr. Jaume Tort attended them. The day concluded with a visit to the facilities of the Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia.

Within the framework of this visit, another session was held where a collaboration agreement was signed by Dr. Dong Van He, the director of VNCCHOT, and Isabel Roselló, representing the DTI Foundation. The event concluded with words of gratitude from President Dr. Martí Manyalich, on behalf of the DTI Foundation, and from Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Tiene and Dr. Luong Ngoc Khue as representatives of the Ministry of Health of Vietnam.

Finally, the week concluded with a sharing of the concepts acquired during the workshop and their possible adaptation for Vietnam. As a closing of the workshop, the participants received a certificate of completion.
