Core Tip

Core Tip: Organ transplantation activities are managed by specific organizations in various countries, each with unique structures, protocols, and practices. These include differences in listing criteria, prioritization on waiting lists, donor preferences (living vs deceased), and organ distribution frameworks. This review explores these variations, particularly focusing on kidney and liver transplants, and highlights the lessons learned from this diverse organizational landscape that can promote future improvements.
