Objectives: - Understand how barriers to transplantation emerge at different steps across the patient journal from referral to evaluation through transplantation and follow-up care - Describe global variation in access to transplantation, including differences in access to living donor versus deceased donor transplantation - Describe global variation in access to high quality care after transplantation - Describe how national policies can improve transplant equity, but must be tailored to the local context - Identify knowledge gaps in how transplant equity might be achieved in the future
