National and global waiting lists increase disproportionately in relation to the number of transplants performed and the different governments should institute measures to guarantee the self-sufficiency of organs in each country and does the donor exchange programs and the ABOi resources already tested in different parts of the world with adequate safety and effectiveness that can improve the rate of transplants when there is some immunological barrier of the donor-recipient pair.
