AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE FOR DONORS AND RECIPIENTSAgreement • December 1st, 2009
Contract Type FiledDecember 1st, 2009The Australian paired Kidney eXchange Program (AKX) is a nationwide live kidney donor exchange program. The goal of the Australian Paired Kidney Exchange Program is to increase live kidney donor transplants by helping incompatible donor-recipient pairs. Participants in the Australian Paired Kidney Exchange Program include individuals who wish to donate a kidney to a known potential recipient at an Australian transplant centre, such as a partner, family member or close friend, but cannot do so because of an incompatible blood type or tissue match, or other incompatibility. The Australian Paired Kidney Exchange Program seeks to identify donor- recipient pairs in the same situation and to organise an exchange of the donors’ kidneys to achieve two compatible transplantations.
