deceased donation

Deceased donation refers to the process of giving organs or tissues after someone has died, usually to save or improve the lives of patients waiting for transplants. When a person is declared brain dead or has an irreversible loss of brain function, their organs—such as the heart, kidneys, liver, or lungs—can be carefully removed with medical consent. These organs are then transplanted into individuals suffering from organ failure. Deceased donation is a vital way to increase the availability of organs, offering hope and healing for many patients in need.
