China is currently the fastest growing lung transplant market in the world, with a 35 % increase in lung transplants in 2018 (403 lung transplants performed). Due to the increased need for lung transplantation the number of clinics authorized to perform lung transplants has increased from 20 clinics in 2016 to 37 clinics in 2018.

The lung transplant program lead by Professor JINGYU CHEN will head the EVLP program at the CHINA-JAPAN FRIENDSHIP HOSPITAL in Beijing. It is the second largest lung transplant clinic in China. They will investigate the effects of EVLP on Lung transplantation.
