The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on transplantation

The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on transplantation ensure that organ and tissue donation are ethical, safe, and fair. They emphasize voluntary decision-making without coercion, respectful consent from donors or their families, and equitable access for recipients regardless of background. The guidelines promote transparency, proper medical practices, and the prevention of illegal organ trade. They also encourage international cooperation and data sharing to improve transplantation safety and effectiveness worldwide. Overall, WHO aims to protect human dignity, uphold medical standards, and ensure that transplantation benefits those in need while respecting donors’ rights.
