Donor Awareness
The donor awareness programme looks at encouraging
people from BME communities to become donors. It promotes the need for donors
and the dire situation for people waiting for life saving surgery. We have
specific targets for communities from faiths and religious beliefs and
community leaders.
Healthy living
The healthy living programme targets BME people to
live in a healthy life and prevent people from getting some of the causes of
organ failures such as diabetes and hypertension. It also promotes regular
screening of these diseases for early detection and treatment.
National activities
We encourage people from BME communities to
get involved in national transplant activities.
If you wish to be an organ donor, please share your
decision with your family, and inform them that you are completing a donor
card. It is very important that your family knows of your decision, because in
most states, they have to give their consent before the donation process can
actually occur.
