According to Martí Manyalich, lecturer from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona, and president of the DTI Foundation, “teaching the health professionals is essential for the quality and success when it comes to the practice of donation and transplant. In Spain, world leader in this field, with a record of 43,4 donors per million population, we began to structure these training programs in 1991. China, which got 4.080 donors in 2016 -the second country with the highest number of donors-, can go further if it promotes training initiatives -such as KeTLOD- for the health professionals”.
