Transport of organs by air
The aviation industry in difficult times continues to prove its importance, always at the service of the community, That is why the transport of organs is one of the pharmaceutical aspects of its application., where we can also add medical supplies, medicines, sangre, skin grafts, vaccines and others.
Transport by air must be carried out by expert hands that will guarantee the correct treatment of such vital organs until they reach their final recipient., that is why it is taken into account:
- Thermal box
- primary packaging, secondary and tertiary
- swath tape
- preservation solution
- Saline solution
- non-sterile ice
- Thermometer
- Packing tape
This as minimum requirements, for an air movement that has grown a 55% in the world and where 1 decade 5 organs is carried out by plane according to data from the ONT of Spain.

Be dedicated ambulance planes, helicopters, airplanes load or passenger, the notoriety of these actions has led airlines to sign agreements to guarantee space and free transport of organs worldwide.
agreements
In this way, agreements between private and organizations dedicated to the transport of organs continues to seek partnerships to guarantee a rapid and effective transfer.
Thus, for example in Ecuador, LATAM Airlines and the National Institute for Organ Donation and Transplantation, Tissues and Cells –INDOT, decided to join efforts to promote and streamline logistics for the transfer of organs, tissue and cells for transplant.
This program will allow to work in coordination, considering that the list of people who are registered waiting to receive a transplant, grows day by day, since the need for transplant does not recognize gender, age, ethnicity or economic status, which is why the gap between donors and transplant patients is getting bigger; so that, although transplants are resolved in the institutional health field, The answer to this problem lies in the social sphere., because without donors there are no transplants. In this way, the agreement between the private company and the INDOT will allow increasing the rates of donors and transplants in Ecuador and constitutes a milestone that will take off flights that will save hundreds of lives.
