Abstract
Background. The disparity between patients awaiting transplantation and available organs has widened, and resultant organ
shortage became a world crisis. The transplantation community has made considerable progress in national organ donation sys-
temin Korea, and significant growth in the number of deceased donors has been witnessed.Methods. After introduction of the
Organ Transplant Act, which was enacted in 2000, transparency was established in organ allocation system in Korea. However,
the number of deceased donor dwindled significantly from 162 in 1999 to 36 in 2002. To improve deceased donation, several
strategies were pursued, and finally new national organ donation system was established through the amendment of the Organ
Transplant Act. Results. Organ incentive system, which was introduced in 2003, failed to increase the number of deceased do-
nors (68 in 2003, 86 in 2004, and 91 in 2005). Monetary incentive to the bereaved family was introduced in 2006 and slightly in-
creased the number of deceased donor (141 in 2006).However, this effectwas not long-lasting (148 in 2007). After enforcement of
the new Organ Transplant Act, which included nationwide independent organ procurement organization and mandatory report of
potential brain death, the number of deceased donors significantly increased, reaching 368 in 2011. The growth continued and the
number of deceased donors reached 409 (8.03 pmp) in 2012.Conclusion. There has been a significant growth in the number
of deceased donors in Korea since the appropriate deceased organ donation system was launched. A comprehensive national
program is required to improve deceased donation and achieve self-sufficiency.
