Transplant waiting list

A system that seeks to find the ‘right’ transplant organ for the ‘right’ patient. It is coordinated nationally by UKTSSA, whose computer compares patients’ details (including blood group and tissue type) with those of cadaveric organs that become available. The average waiting time for a transplant kidney is about two years.
