FAQS

Spanish legislation is very progressive in this regard and provides that any citizen is a potential organ and tissue donor unless they state otherwise. In our country, no document signed in advance by the deceased is required.

In any case, the consent of the family is required to proceed with the removal. For this reason, it is important that the family and close friends of the potential donor know the individual's wishes.

In Catalonia, the organisation responsible for organ donation is the Catalan Organisation for Transplantation (OCATT). You can find out more by calling (+34) 93 339 83 03 or by visiting the website trasplantaments.gencat.cat.
