National Day of Reflection on Organ Donation and Transplantation in 2021
June 22
We are going to share today is what national day? Being for or against post-mortem organ donation is a choice that commits us, but also involves our loved ones. That’s why it’s important to tell your family about your position. On June 22, the Biomedicine Agency invites the general public to express its opinion.
NATIONAL DAY OF REFLECTION ON ORGAN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION JUNE 22
Donation is the giving of an organ and tissue to help someone that needs a transplant. Transplants can save or transform the life of a person. One organ and tissue donor can help transform the lives of more than 10 people. This relies on donors and their families agreeing to donate their organ and tissue after death.
Organ donation by living donors clearly saves lives, improves transplantation outcomes under some circumstances, and reduces recipients' waiting times. It also increases opportunities for patients without living donors to receive organs from deceased donors.
