Organ and Tissue Transplantation: A Global Strategic Business Report

San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 20, 2011

Buoyed by advancements in technology, surgical techniques and immunosuppressive drugs, organ transplantation has become the preferred treatment for several chronic diseases pertaining to heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, and liver. Advances in organ and tissue transplantation have phenomenally revolutionized the quality of life and survival rate across terminal conditions. While a tissue transfer enhances the quality of life of a patient, organ transfer saves or enhances the lives of patients suffering from organ failures. Organ transplantation has increasingly become a pivotal intervention for thousands of patients suffering from fatal end-stage diseases. Several policies guide transplantations around the world, and there exists various possibilities to procure as well as allocate organs for transplantation. On the flip side, although transplantation is considered as the last alternative to save a person suffering from organ failure, the limited supply of organs coupled with the economic crisis, and huge expenses associated with the transplant surgery inhibited transplantation procedures in the recent years.

Recession resulted in a significant decline in live donors, and in those seeking transplants in 2008, specifically in the Western countries. Dearth of organs has been adversely affecting the number of transplant procedures, as several patients suffering from chronic illnesses and waiting for organ transplants die without the receipt of a suitable organ. This, in turn, is thriving the black market for organs, and as well as propelling the medical tourism market, which is driving people overseas to buy organs for transplantations. It is therefore necessary for a major reform to happen in the existing organ donation and transplant system, to spur organ transplantation procedures, and reduce mortality rate arising due to organ shortage and in turn timely transplant.

The escalating imbalance between supply and demand can also be effectively addressed through increasing awareness programs and educating people about the need and importance of organ donation. The education is being aimed at eliminating misconceptions and fear of organ donations, and attitudinal change of organ donation as a social responsibility, especially after-life organ donation. Educating the family members and relatives of the deceased persons is also expected to increase deceased organ donations. Further, state governments and organ procurement organizations are working in tandem and conducting awareness programs to increase organ donations.
