transplantation waiting lists
Transplantation waiting lists are prioritized lists of patients needing organ transplants, such as kidneys, livers, or hearts. When an organ becomes available from a donor, it is matched to patients based on factors like medical urgency, compatibility, and time spent waiting. This system aims to allocate organs fairly and efficiently, ensuring those in most urgent need or best suited to the organ receive it promptly. The process involves careful assessment to maximize transplant success and patient health outcomes.
