TI  - The organizational model of the interregional transplant agency Organizzazione 
      Centro-Sud Trapianti.

AB  - In Italy, all donation and transplant activities were officially disciplined in 
      1999 by the law 91 of April 1, 1999. This law enacted a coordinator-based model 
      of transplantation, instituted the National Center for Transplantation (Centro 
      Nazionale Trapianti-CNT), and endorsed the existing interregional transplant 
      agencies (ITA), such as the Nord Italia Transplant program (NITp), the 
      Associazione InterRegionale Trapianti (AIRT), and the Organizzazione Centro-Sud 
      Trapianti (OCST). Within its borders each ITA has adopted its own organizational 
      model; there is no overt centralized control exerted by the CNT according to the 
      law 91/1999. The aim of the current work is to report on the organizational model 
      adopted by OCST, the ITA gathering the Italian regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, 
      Calabria, Campania, Latium, Molise, Sardinia, Sicily, and Umbria.
