Location:

While primarily a national agency focused on France, the Agence de la biomédecine actively collaborates with international counterparts and organizations (e.g., Council of Europe, WHO, other national competent authorities). This includes sharing best practices, participating in European networks for organ exchange in specific urgent cases (like with Eurotransplant or Scandiatransplant for super-urgent liver transplants), and contributing to global discussions on bioethics, transplantation standards, and medically assisted procreation regulations. It also monitors international developments to inform French policy.
