Organ donation challenges in Jordan
The article discusses the state of organ donation culture in Jordan and the challenges faced in expanding it, despite existing laws and initiatives aimed at raising awareness. The report highlights that organ donation has been taking place for decades but has not yet reached the desired level due to the difficulty of obtaining consent from the families of the deceased for brain death cases, even though legislation is clear and provides opportunities to organize donation procedures among relatives. Research indicates that awareness campaigns have led to a gradual increase in donations, especially for corneas, which enjoy broader societal acceptance. Experts emphasize the need to update legislation and to better utilize cases of brain death resulting from traffic accidents, as current figures remain limited. There is a pressing need for cooperation between the medical sector and society to increase and develop donation programs to improve the chances of saving patients’ lives. This includes focusing on establishing a dedicated national center to manage organ transfer and transplantation processes institutionally, improve outcomes, and reduce waiting lists.
