linked donor

A linked donor refers to a person who donates biological material, such as blood, plasma, or tissue, through a centralized system that connects multiple donation centers or recipients. This system ensures that the donor's information is linked across various locations or purposes, making it easier to track donations, maintain records, and manage the distribution process efficiently. Essentially, it creates a network where donations from one donor can be easily identified and utilized for different recipients or medical needs, enhancing safety, consistency, and organization in the donation process.
