Welcome to the Transplant Links Community website.

Transplant Links (TLC) is a UK registered charity with the primary objective of saving lives through kidney transplantation in developing countries.

TLC was formed in 2006 by a group of British doctors who have been involved in kidney transplantation for a number of years, and who are willing to share their skills in countries where they are most needed.

• In many developing countries kidney failure goes undiagnosed, or untreated
• The outlook for someone with kidney failure in some countries is worse than if they had HIV/AIDS
• Many lives could be saved by kidney transplants from a healthy member of a family to their relative with kidney failure

TLC organises volunteer UK medical teams to work with doctors and medical staff in developing countries, helping them develop the skills to run their own life-saving transplant programmes.

Transplant Links relies upon charitable donations and volunteers to support its work.
