BIÖG’s Organ and Tissue Donation information service is a public health initiative of the Federal Institute of Public Health, supported by the Federal Republic of Germany. Its website provides independent, verified information to help people understand donation and make their own decision about organ and tissue donation. Resources explain eligibility, brain death, donation procedures, transplantable organs and tissues, living donation, and stem cell donation, alongside legal frameworks, statistics, safety controls, and perspectives on religion and ethics.

The service helps visitors document their choice through information about completing, downloading, or ordering an organ donor card and registering a decision in Germany’s Organ Donation Register. It also offers patient directive guidance, educational materials, quizzes, podcasts, articles, personal stories, and a graphic novel. Campaigns, events, and social media content encourage informed discussion, while newsletters and resources support associations and professionals. People can contact the free Organ Donation Information Line for answers to their questions, Monday to Friday. Through these services, BIÖG supports the public in understanding donation, weighing options, and recording a decision.
