Organ donation and transplantation: the need for a multipronged approach for equitable allocation

Article Abstract:

Both medical professionals and the public suffer from low organ supplies because of a lack of consensus on effective and equitable allocation procedures. Existing legislation, such as the Anatomical Gift Act, improved organ donation and transplantation procedures, but the medical profession must take more aggressive measures, such as education on required request laws, before donation systems become more efficient. Health services administrators and medical professionals must also encourage public awareness programs for organ donation procedures to increase donation supplies.
