Santa Fe Sets 2025 Donation and Transplant Records as Argentina Logs Nationwide Highs

Officials attribute the surge to broader detection, private‑sector integration, new clinical protocols.

Overview

  • Santa Fe closed 2025 with 176 donors, including 97 organ and 79 tissue donors, enabling 238 transplants allocated nationally by compatibility.
  • Private clinics provided 39 organ donations in the province, representing more than 40% of the total and far exceeding the usual 10–20% share seen nationally.
  • The province adopted donation after controlled circulatory death, and Hospital José María Cullen reported the first adult cardiac ablation in a donor in Latin America in coordination with Córdoba.
  • Expanded logistics supported faster transfers, highlighted by a sanitary flight on Rosario’s new runway that carried a Mendoza team to procure a heart and liver and return to implant them.
  • Nationally, Incucai recorded 906 organ donation processes, 1,242 tissue processes and 4,497 transplants in 2025, with provinces now preparing a 2026–2028 federal plan to sustain gains.
