Organ Procurement in Kuwait, A Model for Developing Countries

Kuwait has developed a structured organ procurement framework, particularly for kidney transplants from deceased donors, amidst a population of 3 million, largely comprising expatriates. Established under the Transplant Law of 1987, the system focuses on maximizing potential donations through trained transplant coordinators in every hospital who report deaths and identify brain death cases. Initiatives include a two-stage family approach to organ donation. This model can serve as a blueprint for developing countries seeking to enhance organ transplant programs and improve health outcomes.
