The Government of Serbia previously adopted amendments to the Law on Transplantation of Human Organs, which regulate all the important issues that citizens face when making a decision on whether or not they want to be organ and tissue donors.
On National Donor Day, June 6, Serbia introduces a new donor card, as part of efforts to save the lives of as many people as possible organ transplantation the only option, it was announced at a meeting in the Assembly of Serbia.
The introduction of the new donor card followed the adoption by the Government of Serbia of amendments to the Law on Transplantation of Human Organs. The new provisions regulate all the important issues that citizens face when making a decision about whether or not they want to be organ and tissue donors.
The State Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Ivana Stašević Karličić, stated that the Government adopted legal solutions that foresee the possibility for everyone to declare during their lifetime whether or not they want to donate their organs after death and, in accordance with that decision, to be entered in the Register of donors, i.e. the Register of persons who oppose organ donation.
"These solutions give citizens greater legal certainty, and the health system a clearer framework for action. This is especially important in an area where public trust decides whether more people will get a chance at life," she said at the commemoration of the 10th year of National Donor Day and 10 years of the "Most Important Calling in Life" campaign.
She pointed out that Serbia is on the right track in the field of donation, because during 2025 and 2026 the number of people on the waiting list was reduced from 1.700 to 1.228.
In ten years, the number of donors and transplants has increased, legal regulations have been adopted, but Serbia is still at the back of the world in terms of the number of transplants performed.
According to the data of the Department of Biomedicine of the Ministry of Health, from the beginning of the year until today, transplantation was performed in 71 patients.
The National Donor Day was established as part of the "The Most Important Calling in Life" campaign, launched in 2016 by the Ministry of Health, the Hemofarm Group and the Hemofarm Foundation together with patient associations, with the aim of increasing the number of donors and transplants, adopting the law that regulates this area and Serbia's membership in the Eurotransplant organization.
