Despite the record, currently, 78,000 people are waiting for a donation of organs, with the number of effective donors that are just over 4,000. One of the challenges addressed is the refusal of the family: 55% of the 4.9 thousand families interviewed authorized the donation of organs of organs of their entities.
Most requested bodies:
- Reindeer: 42,838
- Horny: 32,349
- Epatto: 2.387
More transplanted organs:
- Horny: 17.107
- Reindeer: 6,320
- Bone Marow: 3,743
- Liver: 2,454
“I want to divide the conquest of this record with the municipal and state secretaries, the health community, the technicians, the nurses, the Samu teams and the professionals who dedicate themselves to strengthening the health system throughout the country. We must celebrate this record. It is the reaffirmation of Brazil as the most transplants in the public health system in the world,” said Alexendre.
To continue evolving the numbers, the Ministry of Health has taken the opportunity to announce measures to modernize the transplant system. To reduce the time between donation and surgery, the Royal Cross Proof mixes the donor’s antigens with the serum of the possible receiver.
The exam will cross the registered immunological data. If the result is positive, the possibilities of the real cross test are positive increases. This result means that there is a greater possibility of refusal of the organ. Therefore, only candidates with the negative virtual test will be called to perform the royal crusade.
Another measure aims to guarantee greater agility in the distribution of organs and fabrics. The priority will be for the states of the same region. If there is no receiver, the agency will go to the national list.
There will also be the unprecedented offer of Sus of the small and multisaceral intestine transplant.
