The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health and Swisstransplant, a national foundation for organ donation and transplantation, launched a new public campaign in February to motivate Swiss residents to discuss and sign up to donate their organs. The three-year, CHF 1.17 million (USD 1.2 million) campaign is supported by a website featuring video clips and other informational materials. Switzerland aims to increase the number of organ donors from an average of 18.6 per million in 2018 to 22 per million by 2021.
