Abstract: Abstract The structures of care in the field of transplantation present a variety of complicated paths and hurdles for the patient. Besides challenges concerning the involvement of different sectors of care and multiple institutions, there is no so-called owner of the process for the patients. Since the treatment path includes contacts with a variety of specialists from various fields, it is important that GPs assist in organization and help patients get their bearings. Though it all, the patients need to consolidate all information and organize their own treatment process along with the different physicians. As local physicians generally do not have much experience in handling specific issues of transplantation, the patient is kind of left to deal with it alone.
