Systematic Success in Organ Donation

Spain's success in organ donation stems from systematic reforms and dedicated efforts over decades. The transition from an opt-in to an opt-out donation system in the late 1970s did not yield immediate results due to insufficient surgical capacity. Comprehensive training for doctors in regional hospitals, establishment of a national registry, and integration of organ donation into end-of-life care were crucial steps. The approach included regular assessments of obstacles within the system, targeted funding, and continuous improvement. Commitment to context, expertise, and financial support are essential in solving complex issues like organ donation effectively.
