The first kidney transplant in Cuba was performed on 24 February 1970, using a cadaveric donor. In 1979, living donor kidney transplantation began between first-degree relatives. A total of 2775 patients are enrolled in renal replacement therapy in 47 hospitals across the country, 1440 of whom are awaiting kidney transplantation. Organs for the kidney program are procured in 63 accredited hospitals equipped for multidisciplinary management of brain death. Accordingly, over 90% of transplanted kidneys are from cadaveric donors. Identification of potential recipients is carried out through a national, computerized program that affords all patients the same opportunity regardless of distance from a transplant center, and selection of the most suitable candidate is based primarily on HLA compatibility.

古巴于 1970 年 2 月 24 日完成首例尸体供肾肾移植，1979 年开始亲属活体供肾移植。全国 47 家医院共有 2775 例患者接受肾脏替代治疗，其中 1440 例等待肾移植。器官用于肾脏项目是在 63 家经认证的医院获得的，这些医院有资格进行脑死亡的多学科管理。因此，超过 90%的移植肾脏来自尸体供体。通过一个全国性的计算机化程序来确定潜在的受者，该程序为所有患者提供了相同的机会，而与距离移植中心的远近无关，并且主要根据 HLA 相容性来选择最合适的候选者。
