Organ donation systems

Organ donation systems are frameworks that facilitate the donation of organs from deceased or living donors to patients in need of transplants. They often involve a legal and ethical process to determine donor eligibility and consent. Systems can be voluntary, where individuals register to donate, or include presumed consent policies, where donation is assumed unless individuals opt out. The goal is to allocate organs fairly and efficiently, prioritizing those with urgent medical needs. These systems rely on healthcare networks, registries, and ethical guidelines to save lives and improve health outcomes through equitable organ distribution.
