🫀 What Is Organ Donation?
Organ donation is the process through which suitable organs from a donor are transplanted into another person whose organ has failed or is severely damaged.
Depending on applicable medical and legal requirements, organs that may be transplanted include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, and intestines. Certain tissues, including corneas, skin, bone, and heart valves, may also be donated.
Some donations—particularly a kidney or part of the liver—can sometimes be made by living donors after careful medical evaluation. Other donations occur after death under established medical, ethical, and legal procedures.

❤️ Why Organ Donation Matters
For some patients with end-stage organ failure, transplantation can significantly improve quality of life or provide a chance of survival. However, the availability of suitable donated organs is limited, making public awareness and informed donor decisions important.
Organ donation also involves complex questions of consent, medical suitability, compatibility, ethics, and national law. People considering donation should therefore obtain accurate information from qualified healthcare authorities.
