Abstract
A tissue establishment is a unit or service, inside or outside of a public or private hospital, generally operated by public or non-profit-making bodies or in some countries by private profit-making institutions that procure, process, sterilise, store, and distribute sterilised human tissues to private or public hospitals to be used in certain medical treatments. Each tissue establishment should adopt the best possible structure, hired the necessary well-trained staff, according to the level of its activities, and should establish the necessary internal committees to ensure the highest quality of its operation. In addition, the tissue establishment should adopt a quality management system in order to reduce the risk and maximize the benefits of the transplantation process.
