Dutch science aids global organ transport

In the Netherlands, research is being conducted on technology that helps transport organs over long distances. This is important for international organ transplants, where a kidney, for example, must travel thousands of kilometers to reach a patient.

The techniques being developed in the Netherlands can ensure that organs can be preserved for longer during transport. This is an important step forward in the medical world, as it increases the chance of a successful transplant.

According to the source, a kidney recently traveled more than 1,700 kilometers from Quang Ninh to Ho Chi Minh City. This is an indication of how far organs can travel with the help of modern technology. The Netherlands plays a role in these developments.
