ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to identify the issues regarding organ donation. The aspects explored in this research are cultural, religious and traditional concepts, which affect the whole process of organ donation and transplantation in Pakistan. We concluded, most of the people including patients have concerns regarding trust and the unavailability of the organs. To address the issues a transparent technical platform is needed which will connect the donor, recipients, and physicians directly where hospital management will mediate between them.
