DBD (Donation After Brain Death)

Donation After Brain Death (DBD) is a process where organs are donated from a person who has been declared brain dead—meaning they have permanently lost all brain function, and death is legally confirmed. Despite the loss of brain activity, the heart and other organs can continue to function with medical support. This allows organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs to be safely transplanted to patients in need. DBD is a well-established and ethical way to save lives, relying on strict medical and legal criteria to confirm death before organ donation proceeds.
