South Africa is a world leader in the field of organ transplantation. However, while the number of patients waiting for transplants continues to increase the serious shortage of potential donors remains a great concern. There are approximately 4 300 South African adults and children awaiting a life-saving organ and cornea transplant.
So go on and save a life, register today as an organ donor.
The slogan SAVE SEVEN LIVES: One person can potentially save seven lives by donating one heart, one liver, one pancreas, two lungs and two kidneys.
