European Union Standards and Training for the Inspection of Tissue Establishments Project (EUSTITE)

EUSTITE was an EU-funded project (2006-2009) led by the Italian National Transplant Centre in which the World Health Organisation participated.  In one of its work-packages, it conducted the first pilot programme of collecting and analysing adverse occurrences associated with tissues and cells used in transplantation and assisted reproduction in 20 EU Member States. Many of the cases evaluated in the pilot study have been inserted in the NOTIFY library.
