Transplant Waiting Lists

Transplant waiting lists are organized systems that prioritize patients needing organs like a heart, kidney, or liver for transplant. When someone needs an organ, they are evaluated and placed on the list based on medical urgency, compatibility, and other factors. The goal is to fairly and efficiently match available donor organs with patients, often using a ranking system that considers health status and waiting time. This approach helps ensure that organs go to those most in need and most likely to benefit, while managing limited supply and maximizing successful outcomes.
