* This is the total number of organs transplanted in Switzerland from abroad. These figures also contain organs that are exchanged outside the FOEDUS platform, such as via scandiatransplant.

** Total number of people who have undergone organ transplant procedures with domestic or foreign organs in Switzerland. This involves the number of people who have undergone such procedures, not the number of transplanted organs. 

A cross-border exchange only takes place if there is no suitable person on the waiting list in the country of the organ donor.
