transplant waiting list

A transplant waiting list is a system that prioritizes patients who need organ transplants, such as kidneys, hearts, or livers. When a donor organ becomes available, it is matched to candidates on the list based on various factors, including medical need, compatibility, and waiting time. Patients can remain on the list for varying lengths of time, depending on their condition and the availability of suitable organs. The goal is to ensure that those in greatest need receive transplants as fairly and efficiently as possible, while maximizing the chances of successful outcomes.
