Sistema Nacional de Transplantes: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Brazilian national transplant system provides free organ transplant surgeries and follow-up care for those in need.
This national system manages organ transplants to ensure patients can access life-saving procedures through the public health system.
Who it's for
This scheme is for patients who have a medical requirement for an organ transplant.
What you get
You receive the transplant surgery itself at no cost. The system also covers the necessary medical care required after the surgery to help with recovery.
What it costs you
There is no monetary charge for the procedures. Your primary requirement is the time and process involved in registering on the official waiting list.
The catch to know
You cannot choose your place on the waiting list. Access to an organ is strictly regulated by medical priority, meaning those with the most urgent medical needs are moved to the front.
How to apply
- Consult with your medical team regarding your transplant needs.
- Ensure your medical details are correctly registered within the public health system.
- Work with healthcare providers to monitor your status on the official waiting list.
