transplant allocation policies

Transplant allocation policies determine how donated organs are fairly distributed to patients in need. They consider factors like medical urgency, compatibility (such as blood type and tissue match), waiting time, and geographic location to ensure the most suitable and equitable matches. These policies aim to save lives, maximize organ utility, and promote fairness by prioritizing those with the greatest medical need while balancing fairness across different regions and populations. The process involves careful evaluation and standardized guidelines to ensure transparency and ethically sound decision-making.
