Altruistic donor

An altruistic donor is someone who gives a kidney or other organ to a stranger in need, without expecting anything in return. This type of donation is motivated by a selfless desire to help others, rather than personal connections or financial compensation. Altruistic donors often undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure they are suitable for donation. Their actions not only save lives but can also inspire others to consider becoming donors. This practice can significantly reduce waiting times for patients and improve the overall success of transplant programs.
