Una mirada al origen, funcionamiento y desafíos del nuevo sistema de donación y trasplantes chileno / A peek to the origin, functioning and challenges of the new Chilean transplantation system

ABSTRACT

Chile made several legal, practical and educational changes to the organ donation and transplant system in recent years, to improve its results. However, studies evaluating these reforms and suggesting further corrections are still pending. Our aim is to assess the new regulations and their reception by both the population and health care providers. Proposals are made to promote the development of a model of Chilean transplantation able to respond to the needs of the population.
