European reference networks
(ERN) are virtual networks involving healthcare providers across Europe for share knowledge in the patient’s diagnosis and treatments.
TransplantChild is an ERN for Paediatric Transplantation
both Solid Organ Transplantation (SOT) and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) which are low-prevalence and complex conditions that requires highly specialized expertise and resources.
Paediatric Transplantation
There is evidence that paediatric transplantation is the only curative therapeutic procedure targeted to the children population that has the highest mortality rates in their age group. The current approach is performed focused on a specific disease or organ.

Transplantation in essence replaces
end-stage disease with a more sustainable chronic disease state and as such has profound clinical and psychosocial consequences, even more challenging in children, with more impact on the growing process.
The Network Scope
Is a cross-cutting approach to supports common areas in different types of transplants as immunosuppression, rejection, tolerance, risk of infection and psychosocial wellbeing.
The cross-cutting approach
Transplanted children shift their primary disease to lifelong chronic condition or `disease´, mostly imposed by the necessary treatment regimens to avoid rejection.
Members of the Network
This network is initially integrated for 18 HCP from 11 Members States with highly qualified multiprofesional teams and proven experience in PT.
