In 2025, the Transplant Procurement Management (TPM) programme in Italy once again demonstrated its strategic importance in strengthening organ donation and transplantation systems nationwide. With a sustained presence across multiple regions, TPM continues to serve as a cornerstone for professional capacity building, directly impacting the quality, efficiency and ethical standards of donation processes.

Throughout the year, TPM courses were delivered across Italy, bringing together hundreds of healthcare professionals involved in donor detection, management and coordination. These training activities not only reinforced technical competencies, but also fostered a shared culture of excellence, collaboration and responsibility within the Italian transplant community.

TPM Italy 2025 in numbers and reach:

  • 52nd National TPM Course – Pomezia (Rome)

  • 9th and 10th TPM Campania – Caserta and Salerno

  • 8th TPM Emilia-Romagna – Bologna

  • 8th TPM Tuscany – Florence

  • 3rd TPM Piedmont & Valle d’Aosta – Turin

  • 5th TPM Puglia – Bari

The impact of these programmes goes beyond the classroom. By strengthening donor management skills and decision-making processes, TPM directly contributes to improved donation outcomes and, ultimately, to saving more lives through transplantation.

This long-standing success is the result of a solid collaboration between Italian institutions and DTI Foundation, built over decades and rooted in shared values of quality, consistency and continuous improvement.

DTI Foundation would like to express its sincere gratitude to Sara Mascarin, Chair of the National TPM Course in Italy and consultant at the Centro Nazionale Trapianti, for her leadership, vision and unwavering commitment to the programme. Special thanks also go to Gabriela Morini, whose essential role in organisation and technical coordination ensures the continuity and excellence of TPM activities year after year.

“El impacte del TPM a Itàlia és una mostra clara de com la formació transforma sistemes i salva vides.”

DTI Foundation remains proud to support TPM in Italy and to contribute to the development of resilient, well-trained transplant systems worldwide.
