Abstract
Since beginning with the first organ transplantation from brain-dead donor in 1979, organ transplantation has been developing continuously in Korea. However, organ shortage still is a serious problem in the field of solid organ transplantation. For this reason, it is necessary to promote deceased donor organ transplantation and achieve self sufficiency. There are two system requirements managing deceased donor organ transplantation; operational and regulatory systems. In operational system, mutual and balanced cooperation between transplantation centers, organ procurement organism (OPO), registration/ allocation system and NGOs is one of most important determinants to maximize brain dead donor. Especially, transplantation center and OPO need to improve in their organ donation process through evaluating donation practices and developing critical pathway for each step. In addition, public education program focusing on the hospital staff, the family of deceased donors and students should be enhanced to increase public awareness for organ donation. In regulatory system, national transplantation authority for the transplant coordination among various structures and policy-making on the issue of organ donation is necessary. For this purpose, Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS) has to be improved into professional and authoritative body and establish more expanded national database network system. Further improvement in operational and regulatory systems to activate organ donation could enable to achieve the Asian leadership in the field of transplantation as well as self sufficiency for organ transplantation.
