Abolishing age criterion to determine organ transplant recipients in Israel: A qualitative study of medical staff perceptions
Introduction
Since April 2014 the age limitation on candidates listed for organ transplantation in Israel was abolished following the recommendations of a Public Committee. In this research the new policy was examined in light of scarce medical resources and the increased rate of aging in Israel.
Methods
The opinions of twelve medical staff regarding the policy change were analyzed by a qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews.
Results
Interviews with medical staff members revealed three main themes: 1. positive acceptance of the new policy; 2. concerns and problems regarding the change; and 3. the influence of the policy change on the organ transplant allocation system and patient-doctor relationships.
Discussion and Conclusions
The medical staff expressed positive views towards the new policy, based on age-free, individually determined admission to transplant waiting lists. However, some concerns were raised regarding the medical implications of this policy, thus potentially hindering its full application.
