Abstract
One of the greatest achievements of modern medicine is the development of transplantology. It improved survival and quality of life of people with organ failure. It gives them hope for a new and better life. This issue of is controversial among the public as most organs are obtained from deceased donors. The procedure of organ procurement from a donor requires commitment of many individuals working in various institutions throughout the country. Hospitals have a legal obligation to report potential donors whoare usually managed in the intensive care units. Organ donors include mostly young people whose death is a shock to relatives, for whom it is hard to comment on the will of the patient regarding organ donation. A Local transplant coordinator is a person monitoring institutional organ donation within the administered area. They supervise activities related to the confirmation of brain death, notify the Local Organ Procurement Organisation (Poltransplant) about potential donors.They support colleagues in the care of the donors, organise and authorise taking organs from deceased donors in their institutions. Coordinators have the qualifications, knowledge and skills necessary to perform those tasks. They are the people who create the image of transplantology in society.
