One Day. One Thought. One Choice That Can Change Lives.

There are times when a simple choice can make a difference to someone.

World Organ Donation Day, which is on 13 August is a chance for us to think about one decision. The decision to donate our organs and tissues when we die.

For someone waiting for a transplant an organ is not a medical thing. It means they get to spend time with their family have another birthday, celebrate another festival see another morning and live without worrying about what will happen tomorrow.

People often have questions and doubts about organ donation.

>Will donating my organs disfigure up my body?

>Can I still have a funeral that follows my religion?

>Am I too old to donate my organs?

>What if I have diabetes or some other health problem?

>Will doctors still try to save me if I am sick?

These are questions that need to be answered clearly and honestly.
