The '''National Transplant Organization''' ({{lang-es|Organización Nacional de Trasplantes}}, ONT) is an institution belonging to the [[Spanish Ministry of Health and Consumption]], put in charge of developing the competencies related with provision and clinical utilization of organs, tissues and cells.
It is directed by Dr. [[Rafael Matesanz]].
 
After the creation of the '''''Organización Nacional de Trasplantes''''' (ONT; National Transplant Organization) in 1989, [[Spain]] went from 14 donors per million population (pmp) to 35.1 donors pmp in 2005, and 35.3 in 2011. That means, to change from ranking in intermediate-low positions in donation rates in Europe, to have by large the highest rate not just in Europe, but also worldwide.
 
To carry out these tasks, it functions as a technical operative unit that adhering to the principles of cooperation, efficacy, and solidarity, fulfils its mission of coordinating the activities of donation, extraction, preservation, distribution, exchange, and [[Organ transplant|transplant]]ation of organs, tissues and cells throughout the whole Spanish Health Care System, itself distributed along the [[autonomous communities of Spain]].
