The number of organ donors in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein has risen, according to transplant data published on Saturday, June 6, 2026. The growth was reported as part of a broader trend in Germany, where in the first five months of the year both the number of donors and the number of donated organs increased slightly. Tagesspiegel ↗
A similar development was recorded in other federal states as well. Hamburg registered the highest number of organ donors in a nationwide comparison. In Hesse, the number of organ donors increased, and in Saarland more organs were donated. These figures suggest a slight improvement in the donation situation, which is important for patients waiting for a transplant. Die Zeit ↗
Despite the growth, the need for donated organs remains higher than the available supply. In the northeastern part of Germany, 209 people are waiting for a donor organ. These are patients for whom a transplant can be the decisive treatment for a serious illness. Die Zeit ↗
The development in the first months of 2026 thus shows a more favorable trend, but the available data also confirms that the slight increase in donations is not yet enough for all severely ill patients. Further developments will depend on whether the number of donors and donated organs is maintained or increased in the coming months as well.
