lung donation

Lung donation involves recovering healthy lungs from a person who has recently passed away and donating them to someone with serious lung disease. The donor's lungs are carefully screened to ensure they are healthy and suitable for transplant. Once matched with a recipient, the lungs are transplanted through a surgical procedure, aiming to improve breathing and quality of life. The process requires coordination among medical teams to evaluate donor health, manage logistics, and prioritize recipients based on urgency and compatibility, ultimately saving or significantly enhancing lives.
