The number of organ donors in Germany has been falling since 2010. In 2017, it reached its lowest level in 20 years with 797 organ donors. With 9.7 organ donors per million inhabitants, Germany lags far behind other European countries. The development of the donor numbers has long been an issue of concern for the Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation (DSO). Together with the donor hospitals, DSO has carried out extensive analyses on the possible causes. Though causes are multiple and complex, one important lever for improving the situation is seen in better detection and consistent reporting of possible organ donors. This is considered the best way to meet the patient's desire regarding organ donation. With reference to the dramatic development, DSO calls for a broad social debate and a joint initiative involving medical associations, contractors, patient associations and policymakers. Getting organ donation back on track in Germany for the benefit of patients on the waiting lists can only be achieved by a joint effort.
自2010年以来，德国器官捐献者的数量一直在下降。2017年，捐献者数量降至20年来的最低水平，仅有797名器官捐献者。德国每百万居民中仅有9.7名器官捐献者，这远远落后于其他欧洲国家。长期以来，捐献者数量的变化一直是德国器官移植基金会（DSO）关注的问题。DSO与捐献医院一起，对可能的原因进行了广泛分析。尽管原因多种多样且复杂，但改善这一状况的一个重要手段是更好地发现并持续报告可能的器官捐献者。这被视为满足患者器官捐献意愿的最佳方式。鉴于这一急剧变化，DSO呼吁展开广泛的社会辩论，并发起一项由医学协会、承办商、患者协会和政策制定者共同参与的倡议。只有通过共同努力，才能让德国的器官捐献重回正轨，造福那些在等待名单上的患者。
