The complexity in analyzing the Health Economics of Organ Donation and Transplantation (ODT) reflects the variety of specialties involved in the maintenance and development of the service. Commonly, ODT relies on different funding sources. Financing the three main phases of the service (Organ Donation, Retrieval and Transplantation), these are often compartmentalized and independent. Furthermore, the value of the service is rarely analyzed against the social and treatment costs for the management of patients with End Stage Organ Failure (ESOF). Defining a Value-Based ODT service represents a major challenge, while hundreds of thousands of patients with ESOF globally, hope to receive an organ transplant as life-saving or life-prolonging treatment. The “value” itself may not be limited to cost-benefit analysis but it should include social aspects of care, influencing the overall quality and performances of ODT to benefit patients, their families and more broadly our society.
