The IFAA Executive Committee approved the creation of the Subcommittee on Body Donation at its meeting on May 22, 2024.

Objective

To collaborate with the members of the associations within the IFAA to provide encouragement and support for developing body donation programmes (BDP) in those universities that do not yet have them, in accordance with the IFAA’s ethical guidelines and within the existing legal framework. In those universities where a BDP exists, but doesn’t work, the Committee will suggest ways of improving the situation.

Working methodology

Through contact with member associations, we aim to learn the current situation within their universities and will oUer the possibility of working together to achieve BDP objectives. Our goal is to maintain sincere and friendly contacts with the anatomical associations, providing support, and even guidance, when it required. Contacts with member associations will also provide an opportunity for associations to collaborate.
