Deceased Donor Programs

Deceased Donor Programs are initiatives that facilitate the donation of organs and tissues from individuals who have passed away. When someone dies, particularly in situations like brain death or cardiac death, their organs can be evaluated for suitability for transplantation. This process involves obtaining consent from the deceased’s family or, in some cases, the person's prior wishes. The donated organs can then be transplanted into patients in need, helping to save or significantly improve their lives. These programs play a crucial role in addressing the shortage of organs available for those requiring transplants.
