There are a lot of people who are essential to the entire procedure but frequently go unseen before the doctor performs the complex surgery for an organ transplant. The forensics team does vital first investigations before to the transplant, the police establish a “green lane” to enable seamless delivery of the organ to the hospital, the airport in-charge ensures quick transfers, and more. Each of these people is essential to the donation and transplantation of organs.
