transplant policies

Transplant policies govern how organs are allocated to recipients, prioritizing fairness and medical urgency. These policies consider factors such as the severity of the patient's condition, compatibility of blood and tissue types, time spent waiting, and proximity to the donor organ. The goal is to maximize the benefit and ensure equitable access, while also promoting efficient use of available organs. Organ allocation is managed by national or regional organizations that develop guidelines ensuring transparent, ethical, and consistent decision-making across different cases.
