  • Bellvitge University Hospital was a pioneer in the State in liver transplants in 1984 and, since then, has seen a significant increase in its activity in the donation and transplantation of both organs and tissues, positioning- at the highest levels in Catalonia and Spain. The Kidney, Liver and Heart Transplant teams are made up of professionals who are experts in the field and who are leaders in all types of innovations and surgical advances. In the field of tissue donation Bellvitge has also been positioned as one of the leading centers, increasing more than 254% its activity since 2007. All this activity is managed through the Coordination of Transplants, which is is responsible for sharing the work of the different teams to achieve success in each of the procedures.
