Overview
- The Health Ministry unveiled the campaign Donar es Trascender with the slogan Por un México sin lista de espera to promote voluntary donor enrollment nationwide.
- In 2025 Mexico performed 2,783 kidney transplants, 245 liver transplants, 46 heart transplants (including four heart–kidney procedures), and 10 lung transplants.
- About 76% of kidney and liver procedures and nearly all heart transplants occurred in public hospitals, with reported survival rates of 93.5% for living-donor kidneys, 84.2% for deceased-donor kidneys, and 71.5% for livers.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the new Sistema Universal de Salud credential will, starting in 2026, record a person’s legally recognized donor decision with the legend donador de órganos to reduce family vetoes.
- Cenatra reports 18,912 people awaiting transplants, and authorities urged the public to register as donors via 55 5487 9902 or the Cenatra online portal, noting immunosuppressant supplies are guaranteed for recipients.
