[Coordination in transplantation]

In Scandinavia transplantations are performed at special units at certain university hospitals, which coordinate donor and recipient operations. Today there is a 24-hour organ retrieval service in the Nordic countries. Transplantation centres exist at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Kommunehospitalet, Arhus and Odense University Hospital in Denmark, at Helsinki University Hospital in Finland, at Rigshospitalet, Oslo in Norway, and at Huddinge University Hospital, Uppsala University Hospital, Sahlgrenska Hospital, Gothenburg, and Malmö General Hospital in Sweden.
