Abstract:
Organ shortage is a prevalent problem within the global transplantation community. World Health Organization (WHO) calls on all countries to achieve self-sufficiency in organ transplantation by reducing the burden of diseases and expanding the effective source of organs in line with ethical principles. Donation after brain death (DBD) remains the major source of transplant organs. In recent years, some Asian countries, including China, have actively promoted the development of donation from deceased organs, which are gradually reshaping the situation of living organ donation as the main source of transplant organs in Asia. The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 slowed down the growth trend of global organ donation and transplantation in the past decade. On the premise that the burden of disease and the need for transplantation have not been significantly reduced, the work of organ donation and transplantation in China has been steadily carried out under the guidance of the general policy of epidemic prevention and control and relevant policies of "Put people and their lives first, and adhere to the dynamic zero-Covid policy". This proves to a certain extent that under the continuous drive of the people's medical demands and transplant demands, China has formed an organ donation and transplant work system with resilience, pressure resistance, operational inertia and the survival of the industry. Look at Asia from China, and look at the world from Asia. In this article, by compiling relevant data of organ donation and transplantation in Asia and around the world, the changes of the overall pattern of organ donation and transplantation in Asia during the new developmental trend of global organ transplantation were illustrated, the influencing factors of DBD were identified by analyzing the developmental characteristics and practical experience, and corresponding effective strategies were proposed, aiming to provide professional reference for sustainable and healthy development of organ donation and transplantation in China and throughout Asia.
