More and more people in Switzerland are considering organ donation.\nThe willingness to donate organs, tissue or cells has also increased over the past 15 years.\nThis is shown by a detailed analysis of data from the Swiss Health Survey (SGB). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, significantly more people had dealt with the topic of organ donation than in previous years: 56% of respondents stated that they had dealt with it at least somewhat, compared to 48% in 2017.\nWomen, people with a higher level of education and people from French- and Italian-speaking Switzerland were more likely than average to have addressed the topic.\nThe 56% of respondents stated that they would be at least more willing to donate organs, tissue or cells after their death.\nThis is an increase compared to previous years.\nIn addition, the number of people who have expressed their willingness to donate organs has also increased.\nIn 2017, 60% of respondents stated that they had neither recorded their wishes in writing nor communicated them to their relatives.\nIn 2022, this figure was only 49%.\nOf the 51% who have expressed their wishes, most have informed their next of kin.\nAround a quarter have recorded their wishes in writing, most frequently in an organ donation card or a living will.\nIn addition, the number of those who expressed their wishes both verbally and in writing increased significantly.\nPreparations are now underway for the objection regulation.\nOn May 15, 2022, the people voted in favor of the objection regulation for organ donation.\nAnyone who does not wish to donate organs, tissue or cells after death must state this in future.\nThe FOPH is preparing a new, broad-based awareness campaign in view of the introduction of the objection regulation.\nIt is to be launched together with the new organ and tissue donor register in 2026 at the earliest.\nThe objection regulation is to come into force six months later.\nUntil the opt-out regulation comes into force, the FOPH will regularly inform the public about what (still) applies today with the existing campaign “Rules instead of postponement: organ donation” and prepare them for the change to the opt-out regulation. <\/p>\n\n
