What is an organ bank?

An organ bank is a specialized organization that is responsible for the collection, preservation, and distribution of organs and tissues for transplantation. Organ banks work closely with hospitals, medical professionals, and donor families to coordinate the donation process and ensure that organs are matched to suitable recipients as quickly as possible. They play a critical role in the transplantation process by maintaining strict protocols for storage and transportation to preserve organ viability. Organ banks also promote public awareness about organ donation and may handle tissue and eye donations as well.
