Organ transplant allocation policies

Organ transplant allocation policies determine how donated organs are distributed to patients in need. They prioritize based on factors such as medical urgency, compatibility (like blood type and tissue match), time on the waiting list, and overall health. The goal is to ensure fair access, maximize survival chances, and use organs efficiently. Policies are developed by medical organizations and government agencies to create transparent and ethical guidelines that balance fairness with medical effectiveness, helping those most in need receive transplants in a timely and equitable manner.
