Every proposed match needs clinical confirmation.BEFORE WE MEET
Understand the options.
Make an informed choice.
Share existing records for both you and your potential donor, including any compatibility results already available.
Each person needs their own assessment and a clear explanation of the proposed pathway. Donation remains a voluntary decision.

BAO Health does not find or provide donors for patients without one. A match or a transplant date cannot be guaranteed.
Can you find a donor if I do not have one?
No. You need your own potential living donor for the living-donor transplant pathway we support. Our matching support is for existing patient–donor pairs; it is not a donor-finding service.
Is paired exchange only for incompatible pairs?
We can help explore whether an exchange could offer a more suitable match for an existing patient–donor pair. The clinical team reviews the individual circumstances and explains whether this is an appropriate option.
Does a proposed match mean we can proceed?
No. A proposed match needs clinical assessment and confirmation. Both people must understand the plan and make an informed, voluntary decision.
