ABSTRACT
Organ transplantation is the treatment of choice for most end-stage diseases, despite the continuous advancements in the medical and surgical field. The dilemma of the shortage between supply and demand of organs for transplantation has been an ongoing debate and concern. The well-known "Spanish Model" was established in 1989 and adopted by the National Transplant Organization. The main commitment of the National Transplant Organization is to increase organ donation and transplantation rates. The program was also successfully adopted in countries such as Australia and Great Britain as well as Latin-American countries. The system is based on recruitment of cadaveric organs by a specialized team in hospitals at the regional and national level. Lebanon hopes to initialize a model similar to the Spanish Model but faces several obstacles. Adopting such a model could help increase cadaveric organ donation in Lebanon.
