Abstract
Organ transplantation is a surgical operation to rescue a patient who has organ failure by implanting the other people's healthy organ into the patient’s body accordingly to save and prolong the patient's life. This is also one of the focuses of today's researches. Organ transplantation started relatively late in China, but since then, organ transplantation made a great progress in China in just a few years. But in the meanwhile, the organ transplantation market in China still faces various problems. This paper uses a large number of data, such as the number of people waiting for organ transplantation in different countries at different times and the distribution data of qualified organ transplant institutions in various regions of China, to analyze the problems faced by China in organ transplantation. It is found that organ transplantation in China, especially kidney transplantation, faces the problems of large demand gap and regional inequality. To meet these challenges, this paper explains four principles of allocation and then introduces two different allocation mechanisms as a reference for improving organ allocation in China.
