organ transplant registry
An organ transplant registry is a database that keeps track of individuals willing to donate their organs after death and those in need of an organ transplant. When someone requires an organ, the registry helps match them with suitable donors based on various factors like blood type and medical need. This system is crucial for ensuring a fair and efficient allocation of organs, maximizing the chances of successful transplants and saving lives. Registries are maintained by health organizations and often encourage people to register voluntarily as organ donors to increase the available donor pool.
