The Korea Organ Donation Agency (KODA) is a public institution dedicated to promoting organ and human tissue donation and fostering a culture of life-sharing. It serves as a specialist organization for donation management, coordinating key processes that connect donation with transplantation. Its work includes managing potential brain-dead donors, operating an organ and tissue notification center, and supporting coordinators and partner medical institutions. KODA also offers programs to encourage donation at affiliated hospitals and provides information about organ and tissue donation.

People can learn how to register their wish to donate, apply online, and check, change, or cancel a registration. The agency provides life-sharing education and operates KODA LAB, with information about its laboratory and testing services. KODA supports donor families through remembrance events, family gatherings, a memorial space, and opportunities to share letters and stories with recipients. It also publishes donation statistics, annual reports, educational and promotional materials, and public notices. Through these services, KODA works to honor donors, assist families, and raise public awareness of donation.
