World Organ Donation Day is observed on 13th August each year to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and to encourage people to consider donating their organs to save lives. Organ donation is a selfless act that can give someone a second chance at life, whether it's through donating a heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, or other organs. Despite medical advancements, the demand for organ transplants far exceeds the number of available organs, making awareness and willingness to donate crucial. By understanding the impact of organ donation, we can help bridge this gap and provide hope to those awaiting transplants. check out our article on 'Covid-19 & its Effects on Organs' - https://lnkd.in/dYzE9W9H #organawareness #donatelife #savelives #healthawareness #organdonationday #evergreenclubapp #seniorstodaymagazine #seniorstoday

Busting some #organdonation myths with Both Sides of the Stethoscope… Misconceptions about organ donation can deter people from registering as donors, leading to a possible shortage of available organs for transplant. Accurate information helps individuals make informed decisions and increases the likelihood of life-saving organs being available to those in need. #transplant #organdonation

Q: How do I know that my organs will be given to the person most in need? A: The Organ Donation Organization will work with transplant centres to match the tissue and blood type of the donor to an individual(s)’ on the wait list. Medical urgency, blood type/group, the size of the organ, and the relative distance (of a prospective match) all form the basic criteria for organ allocation. If a match is found, the individual(s) who, for medical reasons, is the sickest will receive the donated organ. If the medical urgency is the same, the individual who has been on the wait list the longest will receive the organ. If there is no suitable match within the local area, a check is made through databases of prospective recipients across Canada and possibly in the United States, in order to save lives. https://lnkd.in/euepxqks #donateyourorgans #leavewell #livewell #organdonation
