The Transplantation Act stipulates that all hospitals must appoint at least one Transplantation Officer (TXB). At LMU Klinikum, two senior anaesthetists are responsible for this: PD Dr. Thomas Weig for the Großhadern site and Dr. Ludwig Ney in the city center. They are supported by experienced specialists and senior physicians from neurology, pediatrics and anesthesiology.

The doctors responsible for transplantation are the most important contact persons for all matters relating to organ donation - both for the clinics and for the coordinators of the DSO (German Organ Donation Foundation). They provide support in the actual implementation of organ donation, offer further training and information and have administrative tasks such as the legal obligation to register potential organ donors. Another important task is to support the relatives of organ donors in this stressful situation.
