Challenges associated with organ donation and transplantation process

SN.	Hindering factors	Implications for organ supply	Influence on stages of organ transplant supply chain	Sources
C1	Lack of functional organ procurement network	Ineffective facilitation of organ sourcing and allocation	Sourcing and retrieval	Beyar (2011), Wood et al. (2022), Stewart (2021), Beard et al. (2006), Ross and Thistlethwaite (2008), Kaze et al. (2018)
C2	Organ transplant regulations are weak or absent	Concerns with organ procurement, supply and transplantation governance	Sourcing, retrieval, delivery and transplantation	Ulasi et al. (2020), Hackmann et al. (2022), Weimer (2010), Shroff (2009)
C3	Inadequate information system infrastructure	Transparency and management of the organ supply chain are hampered by a lack of available data	Sourcing, retrieval, delivery and transplantation	Chavez et al. (2020), Olu et al. (2019), Kritchanchai et al. (2018), Massie et al. (2014), Howard and Byrne, 2007; Molnar et al. (2015)
C4	Black market for donated organs	Alternative donor supply networks that are in direct competition with regulated transplantation programmes	Sourcing	Parada-Contzen and Vásquez-Lavín (2019), Bowden (2013), Yoon, (2018), Woan (2007), Morgan et al. (2005), Taylor (2006)
C5	Lack of effective cold-chain system	The safety/quality of organs will be at risk if cold-chain systems are not effective	Retrieval and delivery	Sharma et al. (2021), Fisher et al. (2020), Net et al. (2003), Vreugdenhil et al. (1991), Koizumi et al. (2015)
C6	Lack of effective organ logistics/transport scheme	Logistical problems can jeopardise organ transport and transplant equity	Delivery	Pullen (2019), Michel et al. (2015), Stewart et al. (2016), Wey et al. (2018)
C7	Lack of skilled labour	Inadequate skills in organ product handling procedures and inventory management techniques	Sourcing, retrieval, delivery and transplantation	Kartoglu and Milstien (2014), Spearman and McCulloch (2014), Naicker et al. (2010)
C8	Organ donor recruitment challenges	An insufficient supply of donors can be attributed to the difficulty of finding new ones	Sourcing	Williamson et al. (2019), Feeley and Kruegler (2015), Sharif (2012), Noyes et al. (2019)
C9	Difficulties with matching donors and recipients	The capacity of logistics to deliver organs to the appropriate individual at the right time can be hindered by challenges in pairing donors and recipients	Sourcing	Lewis et al. (2021), Lee et al. (2019), Orens et al. (2006), Matching Donors (2023), (2020)
C10	Organ transplant tourism	The high demand for organ transplants would seem to fuel “transplant tourism”	Retrieval, delivery and transplantation	Hindi et al. (2020), Shimazono (2007), Smith (2012), Budiani‐Saberi and Delmonico (2008)
C11	Getting the consent of a potential donor	Affect the timely distribution and delivery of organs	Sourcing	Ahmad et al. (2019), Salim et al. (2007), Prabhu (2019), Shaw (2018)
