Bringing hope and healing to transplant patients by integrating global standards with local care.
Medical Links believes in the right of every transplant patient to benefit from the highest quality tissue and for every donor to be honored with a process that meets the latest clinical standards. We exist to provide the vital link between patients, clinicians, hospitals/ healthcare facilities, and donors – supporting a high standard of tissue transplantation at every stage in the process.
In Israel, the need for donated tissue far outpaces the available local supply. Cultural and religious factors limit the numbers of willing donors. This makes sourcing transplant tissue a challenge in Israel. Medical Links is overcoming the logistical and educational hurdles in the current system, while working to raise the standard in tissue processing.
