Abstract

Here, we describe the current situation regarding organ transplant in Uzbekistan. The legalization of paired-kidney exchange programs for donors with incompatible blood types in Uzbekistan will allow more opportunities for organ donation. The phased implementation of the transplant program with that of deceased-donor organ transplant can be carried out only with the involvement of public, cultural, and religious figures, and not only health professionals, to permanently shift the paradigm in the population.
