The law requires prison officials to provide necessary medical care to inmates, which includes addressing organ transplant needs when deemed medically necessary. This obligation is part of the broader duty to ensure that inmates receive adequate healthcare under the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Additionally, prison officials must facilitate access to transplant evaluations and treatments, ensuring that inmates are not denied necessary medical procedures due to their incarceration status.
