Abstract

Organ transplantation has a distinctive feature: supply of organs is difficult because the graft is a rare resource. The imbalance between organ requirement and organ supply has two consequences:
  1. 1.

    Establishment of waiting lists for each organ.

     
  2. 2.

    Establishment of rules to manage the waiting lists with equity and efficacy.
