Transweb TransWeb: All About Transplantation and Donation (www.transweb.org) is a nonprofit educational web site serving the world transplant community. Based at the University of Michigan, TransWeb features news and events, real people's experiences, the top 10 myths about donation, a donation quiz, and a large collection of questions and answers, as well as a reference area with everything from articles to videos. Donor action In 1994, three public organisations with extensive experience in organ donation agreed to pool their expertise and resources to form a Working Group to develop an international in-hospital programme to increase organ donation rates*. The result is Donor Action. Novartis (non US) Didactic website on organ transplantation issues. Novartis For more than 15 years, Novartis has striven to improve the quality of life for transplant recipients. The introduction of SandimmuneŽ (cyclosporine, USP) in the early 1980s dramatically increased the success rate of transplantation and helped make solid organ transplants the almost routine procedures they are today. US transplant games The success of transplant athletics--specifically, the U.S. Transplant Games and the U.S. Winter Transplant Games--has created new opportunities to demonstrate the success of transplantation and the critical need for additional donors.
