Summary:
While TRANSTAN only puts out the priority list, the recipient is finalised by the recipient hospitals, she added. The list of patients waiting for heart and lung transplant is given by the recipient hospitals and TRANSTAN coordinators then put up the priority list based on the date of registration of the patient. The responsibility of updating and maintaining the current list of recipients is with the recipient hospital and is verified by TRANSTAN coordinators. If they agree to donate organs, then a potential donor alert is given to TRANSTAN whose case coordinator then sends alerts to probable recipient hospitals, giving them enough time to coordinate the logistics. Then the organ allocation process is started by TRANSTAN case coordinators based on protocol, committee meetings and government orders..
