Onassis National Transplant Center

The Onassis National Transplant Center (ONTC), the second strategic pillar of the Onassis Hospital, is an ambitious project made possible thanks to the landmark donation of the Onassis Foundation and delivered to the Greek State in 2025. It is a cutting-edge, fully digitized medical center designed to provide comprehensive solid organ transplant services, featuring the latest technologies and the highest standards of healthcare.

The ONTC is not just another hospital; it marks a new era for transplant medicine in Greece. Incorporating hybrid operating rooms, robotic assistance, and advanced virtual navigation and Artificial Intelligence systems, the Center is shaping the future of medical care for both adults and children.

For the first time, pediatric patients requiring transplants no longer need to travel abroad, subjecting themselves and their families to the emotional, physical, and financial hardship that this entails. The ONTC now fills this vital gap, providing services that until recently were not available in Greece, while also relieving the public healthcare system of significant costs. Furthermore, the ONTC’s close collaboration with leading scientists from Greece and abroad, under the auspices of the Hellenic Transplant Organization (EOM), strengthens knowledge transfer and drives medical innovation.

Through the development of a national network of partnerships, support for existing transplant structures, and enhanced professional training for healthcare practitioners, the ONTC aims to contribute to increased organ donation rates and accelerate the country’s transformation into a center of excellence in the field of transplants.

Finally, through joint actions with the Onassis Foundation and EOM, the ONTC actively promotes public awareness of the value of organ donation and reinforces a culture of generosity and hope.
