Criteria for donation had been strict over the years. Initially, the selection of donors was very conservative i.e. no cancer, no insulin dependent diabetic, no HIV, etc. But times have changed….

With and increasing need for minority transplants; selection criteria has loosened its belt and we are accepting a broader parameter of potential donors. We therefore are moving out of the conventional realm of merely looking for the “Healthy Donor,” and offer plausible solutions to close the gap on this increasing need.
