kidney allocation policy
The kidney allocation policy determines how donated kidneys are distributed to patients needing transplants. It considers factors like the patient's blood type, tissue compatibility, time on the waitlist, geographical location, and urgency of medical need. The goal is to fairly and efficiently match kidneys to recipients who will benefit most, while maximizing the lifespan of the transplant. The system aims to balance medical priority with fairness, ensuring that organs are allocated to those most compatible and in need, within a framework governed by medical guidelines and national policies.
