각막기증 및 이식 활성화를 위한 법제 연구

Each country has its own unique culture, governmental system, social mores and economic systems. Korea is beginning on the path of developing donation and transplant systems or cornea and eye bank. We should focus the efforts and resources on achieving a system that can fit into and work successfully within our capacity. The first step should be governmental support of a national system for each area such as organ, tissue and eye as each require singular and specific attention as well as development. National Governmental recognition of a Eye Bank System with a Korean Network for Organ Sharing working with many regional sites would provide the strong foundation needed on which to build a long lasting sersite to the korean people. This type of system is completely transparent, allows for full governmental oversigyp and regulation, promg es partitipation of transplanting surgeons as they take an active role in its operations, promotes full compliance of hospitals in their participation of reporting deaths and provides a secure and trusted system for the people of Korea to support and benefit from its services. I recommend such legislative changes to be considered in Korea where corneal tissue shortage is delaying the availability of corneal transplnat surgery.
