Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Into the 21st century, the organ transplantation has been known as “the top medicine of twenty-first century with the rapid development”. However, the organ transplantation has been greatly limited by the shortage of donor organs. Meanwhile, in China, a ratio of 1:30 is the “bottleneck” of the development of organ transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the significance, content and approach of constructing a donation assistance system, and to analyze the problems of organ donation to be solved in China in order to propose rescue measures of organ donation.
METHODS: A computer-based online search in CNKI database and PubMed database was performed with the keywords of “organ donation, organ transplantation, assistance” by screening titles and abstracts. At the same time, understanding the organ donor and the medical staff through the interview provides a realistic basis for proposal of the rescue measures.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: From social, economic, psychological and other aspects, some humanitarian assistance given to organ donors is the trend for the rapid development of organ transplantation. Meanwhile, in aspects of the establishment of legal assistance, system design, organization construction, staffing, an assistance system for organ donation in China is proposed to ensure the implementation of rescue measures.
