organ procurement

Organ procurement refers to the process of identifying and collecting organs from donors for transplantation into patients in need. This typically involves two main types of donors: living donors, who can donate organs like a kidney, and deceased donors, whose organs are harvested after death. The process is carefully regulated to ensure ethical practices and that the organs are matched to recipients based on medical criteria, improving the chances of successful transplantation. Organ procurement is crucial in addressing the shortage of available organs and saving lives through transplantations.
