The CO: Transplant Coordinator

Ohno Tatsuro has been an organ transplant coordinator for several years. He and his senior, fellow coordinator Kuramoto Kazufumi, cannot hide the conflicting struggles of medical transplants after a revision of the organ donation law. Pressured by the Ministry of Health for cases of successful transplants, Takenouchi Shintaro, the director of Takenouchi General Hospital gets desperate. Six-year-old Tachibana Kaito, who suffers from an enlarged heart and has been waiting for a transplant for four years, is hospitalised at an affiliated hospital. His mother, Miki, fervently hopes for a transplant surgery in the country as this is the only way left for him. Then one day, an accident occurs. Tezuka Takeru, a six-year-old, falls from the veranda of an apartment. He is immediately brought to Takenouchi General Hospital, one of the big hospitals in Tokyo, but is pronounced brain dead. There appear to be signs of unnatural fractures and bruises on Takeru’s body and it is suspected that he was ill treated. However, organ transplant from an abused and brain dead child is prohibited by law so Takenouchi gives a false report to the police … After the law is revised, thoughts begin to gather in many adults with the first incidence of a brain dead child under the age of 15.

　2010年7月、改正臓器移植法が施行され、臓器提供の意思がある場合、年齢に関係なく、本人の拒否がない限り、家族の同意で臓器の提供ができることになった。そんな中、注目を集めているのが「移植コーディネーター」という仕事だ。 　このドラマは吉岡秀隆扮する移植コーディネーターが、法改正という変化の中で、様々な思惑に振り回されながらも、国内初の6歳の心臓移植を成功させるまでの物語。 “子供の虐待問題”や“利権を狙う病院側の陰謀”など様々な問題が浮かび上がる臓器移植――。 　この物語は、取材を元にフィクションで作られた、リアリティ溢れるスリリングな本格社会派ドラマであり、かけがえのない命に関わる人々の葛藤や闘いを描いた人間ドラマです。

2010년 7월, 개정 장기 이식법이 시행되고, 연령에 관계없이 본인의 거부가 없다면 가족의 동의로 장기의 제공이 가능하게 되었다. 그런 가운데 인기를 얻고있는 것이 '이식 코디네이터'라는 직업. 이 드라마는 요시오카 히데타카가 분하는 이식 코디네이터가 법 개정이라는 변화 속에서 다양한 음모에 휘둘리면서도 국내 최초의 6살 심장 이식을 성공하기까지의 이야기이다. '아이를 학대 문제'와 '이권을 노리는 병원 측의 음모'등 다양한 문제가 떠오른 장기이식. 이 이야기는 취재를 바탕으로 허구로 만들어진, 리얼리티 넘치는 스릴 본격 사회파 드라마이며, 둘도없는 목숨과 관련된 사람들의 갈등과 투쟁을 그린 휴먼 드라마이다.

從事數年的移植協調人大野和前輩倉本就器官移植法修定後的移植醫療的難度發生了爭吵。面對著，對親人可以優先移植，和就算不知道本人的意思，只要有家人的同意就可以移植的事例，接觸志願者的家屬後，大野從工作中得到了很好的鼓勵。 就在這時，在修改法中同意了未滿十五歲的植物人的器官移植的這一問題受到關注。竹內醫院的院長被厚勞省要求儘快做出未滿十五歲的第一個案例。在危險狀態下被送到icu的擴張型心肌症的立花海鬥和期望著移植的母親美樹。從公寓陽臺上掉下來而被送到竹內醫院的手塚健和正在動搖的母親由比。顯露出權利，推奬移植的謎一樣的製藥公司的老大齊藤。一顆僅僅6歲得小心臟裡聚集著多少大人們的迷惑。被成懷疑兒童虐待，被瞄準的醫療利權和覆蓋著移植的公平性裡面的壓力……。雖然大野決定為了志願者的一家，還有抱有活下去的希望的受取人的一家真誠的面對，但是…
