ABSTRACT

In the Amazon, the organ and tissue transplant service was created in 2013 with the implementation of hepatic transplantation outpatient ward at Adriano Jorge Hospital Foundation due to the high rate of cases and the rising cost to the State. The work results from a survey conducted within the Support of Scientific Initiation Program whose goal is to analyze the social determinations in the assisted cases. It had performed a documentary and field research with the use of interviews and observation as data collection technique. The results show the social conditions as important factors that must be taken into consideration in the process of becoming the able patient for transplantation, however, a network support is still needed to be built.
