The role of the Hospital Coordinator for Organ and Tissue Donation for Transplantation in Mexico is analyzed, using the British model as a reference. The lessons from the UK’s experience in improving donation and transplantation rates are explored, emphasizing the importance of training, awareness, and collaboration. Additionally, the challenges Mexico faces in implementing an equivalent model are addressed, including cultural barriers and the need for a more robust management and coordination system. Adapting these experiences could strengthen the effectiveness of the donation process in the country.
