Abstract
Since 1989, all pediatric liver transplants in Switzerland are centralized at the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG). Approximately 125 children have received transplants since then, and their survival rate is greater than 90% - one of the highest in Europe. Maximizing the chances of success requires that patients understand and comply with follow-up treatment. The KidsETransplant project aims at helping the child - and his family - to better understand his health situation, to have access to shared resources and to be able to better communicate with healthcare professionals and other patients.
