Did you know

... that there is no organ donor register in Norway?

According to the Norwegian Organ Donation Foundation, a donor register is not necessarily representative of a successful organ donation and transfer scheme. Like Spain, Norway is among the top countries in Europe for liver and heart transplants, and yet does not have a register. On their web site (in Norwegian only), the Norwegian Organ Donation Foundation (Stiftelsen Organdonasjon ) provides information about organ donation, donor cards and answers to frequently asked questions about organ donation.

Other topic-related information including laws, regulations and online services exist, but with limited English texts or in Norwegian only. If you would like to view information in Norwegian, click on the Bokmål, or Nynorsk, menu choice in the top banner above.
