OPO (Organ procurement organization)

An Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) is a healthcare entity that coordinates the process of obtaining organs from deceased donors for transplantation. They identify potential donors, ensure proper medical and legal procedures are followed, and work with transplant centers to match organs with patients in need. OPOs play a critical role in saving lives by ethically managing the donation process, ensuring organs are preserved, and facilitating timely transplants. Their goal is to maximize the number of successful donations while respecting the wishes and dignity of donors and their families.
