The growing waitlist for organ transplants has prompted experts like Tina Liedtky from Thermo Fisher Scientific to highlight systemic health inequities. High costs, geographical barriers, and biases related to race and gender hinder patient outcomes in transplantation.
Help is at hand from nonprofits that are aiding patients facing such challenges, promoting the importance of awareness and equitable policies. Meanwhile, innovations in minimally invasive diagnostics and the integration of advanced digital technologies may help bridge existing gaps and enhance personalized care in the future.
