organ procurement organizations

Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are specialized agencies tasked with coordinating the donation of organs from deceased donors. They work to identify potential donors, assess the medical suitability of organs, and ensure that the donation process is respectful and compliant with legal and ethical guidelines. OPOs connect hospitals, donors' families, and transplant centers, aiming to increase organ availability for patients in need of transplants. Their mission is crucial in saving lives and improving health outcomes for those suffering from organ failure.
