Pancreas Allocation System

The Pancreas Allocation System is a method used by hospitals and transplant organizations to fairly distribute donated pancreases to patients in need. It considers factors like medical urgency, compatibility (such as blood type and tissue matching), and how long a patient has been waiting. The goal is to ensure those most in need receive the transplant promptly while maximizing successful outcomes. This system helps optimize organ use, reduce waiting times, and improve the chances of a successful transplant for recipients.
