Global Organ Transplant Strategy : 77th World Health Assembly
The 77th World Health Assembly made news when it approved a draft resolution to make organ donations, including those using tissues and human cells, more available around the world.
- This project is aware of the differences in the number of transplants that are available and wants to make it easier for people in both poor and developed countries to get one.
- The resolution asks member states to come up with a global plan to improve organ transplants.
- This plan will be put into action in 2026. It shows how important it is to follow WHO’s Guiding Principles even more, especially when it comes to increasing the number of dead donations so that they can be used for therapy in their fullest capacity.
- To get more people to donate organs, the idea of making World Donor Day official was backed.
- The target of the draft is narrowed even more by calling for donations after both neurological and, if necessary, circulatory death.
- This dual approach method aims to get the most out of the organs that are available while still following medical and moral standards.
- Countries are being pushed to make organ transplantation a normal part of their national healthcare systems, with donations from the dead being a normal part of this.
- In addition, the resolution stands against the abuse of live donors by calling for proper protection and follow-up steps.
