In 2009, the FPS Health decided to review the message conveyed to the population. Since then, the focus has been on thanking donors and their families without whom transplants would not be possible. The message is designed to be positive and focuses on the transplant patient who is "happy to be alive".
Activities in 2009:
- Creation of a 40-second commercial for cinemas. Entitled "Merci" - "Dank U", this commercial was produced with a Belgian actor, Christelle Cornil,
- In the frame of the European Day for Organ Donation, official launch of a commercial for three weeks at local cinemas,
- Organisation of the 1st "GIFT" national symposium for Intensive Care Unit medical staff and nurses, transplant coordinators and transplant patient associations.
