The Global Organ Shortage: Strategies to Address the Crisis
Received Date: Aug 01, 2024 / Published Date: Aug 30, 2024
Abstract
The global organ shortage represents a critical healthcare challenge, with demand for organs far exceeding the available supply. This disparity results in prolonged waiting times, increased mortality among waitlisted patients, and a rise in unethical practices such as organ trafficking. This article explores the multifaceted nature of the organ shortage and examines various strategies being implemented and considered to address this global crisis, including increasing deceased donation, promoting living donation, optimizing organ preservation and utilization, and exploring alternative sources such as xenotransplantation and regenerative medicine.
