ABSTRACT

The 2022-2026 Transplantation Plan has been launched by the French government to stimulate the activities of organ harvesting and transplantation, after the failure of the previous one. It has been designed by the Biomedicine Agency in collaboration with learning societies, including the SFNDT, and patient associations. The plan is original in its objectives, its regional organization with its driving by the Regional Health Agencies, the involvement of advanced practice nurses and its funding. The ambition is to transplant every transplantable patient. The increase in the number of kidney transplantations, more of all from a living donor, requires the active participation of all the nephrologists, who are the first in delivering information to the patients and their family on advanced chronic kidney disease treatment and living donation.
