Why is it important?

Sue Johnstone (Communications Manager) gives expert video advice on: What is organ donation?; Why is it important?; What is tissue donation? and more...

Organ donation is so important because there are so many people actually on the organ donor waiting lists. At this time, we've got over 8000 people in the U.K. waiting for organs. And every year we're losing over 400 of them because their organs come too late for them. And approximately 170 of those are for children. And people don't realize that every age gets affected by organ donation for transplantation.
