Giving a Kidney to a Stranger
Not Rated
S10 • E79 Jun 3, 2026 30mIn the Netherlands, kidney exchange programs help incompatible donor-recipient pairs find compatible matches through a dedicated matching system. Up to eight transplants can take place on the same day - each donor gives a kidney to a stranger while their intended recipient receives a compatible one. Roy Rodgers (49) and his mother Vera (70) benefited from this approach, which Germany is now moving to allow.
