You need to avoid:
- Trusting in unscrupulous doctors, knowing that the heterologous procedure is legal in Italy, invite patients to go abroad for the procedure for the sole purpose of avoiding paying taxes in Italy even if Italian law prohibits it.
Remember that only authorized doctors of the MAP technique can perform such procedures.
- Trusting in centers not yet authorized by the National Transplant Center so you should always ask, for your protection, the issue of authorization from the CNT not to be confused with the health authorization that authorizes only the homologous techniques.
- Not requesting a biological form in which other than the technical description of the procedure, also gives the univocal code of both the donor and the center.
