Artikel 3 Aanvullend Protocol bij het Verdrag inzake de rechten van de mens en de biogeneeskunde inzake transplantatie van organen en weefsel van menselijke herkomst

Article 3 Transplantation system Parties shall guarantee that a system exists to provide equitable access to transplantation services for patients. Subject to the provisions of chapter III, organs and, where appropriate, tissues shall be allocated only among patients on an official waiting list, in conformity with transparent, objective and duly justified rules according to medical criteria. The persons or bodies responsible for the allocation decision shall be designated within this framework. In case of international organ exchange arrangements, the procedures must also ensure justified, effective distribution across the participating countries in a manner that takes into account the solidarity principle within each country. The transplantation system shall ensure the collection and recording of the information required to ensure traceability of organs and tissues.
