Medical (general)
Denn die Zulassung zur Transplantation läuft generell nach Bedürftigkeit - etwas anderes ließe auch der ***ärztliche Auftrag*** kaum zu. Was er aber zulässt, ist die Nicht-Aufnahme in die Transplantations-Wartelisten, wenn "Kontraindikationen" vorliegen, ein Patient deshalb als "nicht transplantabel (NT)" eingestuft wird. Das ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn ein Patient die erforderliche "Compliance" (Willen und Befähigung zur Mitarbeit) nicht mitbringt. Fortgesetzter Alkoholkonsum ist ein definitives Ausschlusskriterium.

medical mandate
I´d prefer *mandate* in the context of medical ethics.
Not to be confused with a *personal mandate* for organ donation...

Large or small, the risk is iatrogenic, and it may well be asked whether it is part of the duties of a doctor to impose such risks on women who derive no clinical benefit from the procedure, unlike women undergoing egg extraction during IVF. It has been said that egg cell removal breaks with the *medical mandate* to heal. (Schneider and Schumann, 2002, p. 74) That is also the position recently taken in a statement from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Ethics Committee.

Neither is this about medical ethics in general nor directly related to the Hippocratic Oath (as indicated by citation of two Wikipedia sources above). It´s merely about the translation of *Auftrag* in the sense of a mandate given /handed on to the medical profession by society, to pursue and make ethics-based decisions in its best interests.
Another example:
While the pursuit of a scientific basis for practice is clearly an ethical mandate, defining ethical practice in the absence of strong evidence and in the presence of competing methodologies is elusive.

Example sentence:
On occasion, there are individual cases where permission for transplant agencies to pursue potential organ or tissue donation may be denied by medical examiner/ coroners because of their legal and *medical mandate* to determine cause and manner of death
