These committees have been formally reconstituted to bolster transparency and efficiency within the organ transplantation process. The primary function of these new panels is to offer clinical expertise and guidance across a range of organ types. The committees will address crucial aspects of patient selection, ensuring optimal matching to suitable recipients, and overall management of these procedures. The Department of Health intends to utilize these new panels to improve communication between medical professionals, patient representatives, and the relevant authorities, ultimately striving for enhanced outcomes and adherence to ethical standards within the organ transplant system.
