Organ Donation
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:22 am
Good day,
I have been working for the emergency services for just over 15 years. In that time, I have unfortunately, seen more than a fair share of people that have lost their lives.
This is not a topic that many people like to hear about, but one day you could find yourself or have a family member in a situation where the question of organ donation might be asked.

There are thousands of people who are desperately awaiting organ transplantation is South Africa, without the availability of suitable organs many of these people might succumb due to life threatening organ failure. The potential survival of all these people is dependent on the selfless donations from ordinary citizens such as yourself!
It is very important that you share your wishes of becoming an organ donor with your family as they will have to make these wishes known to medical professionals in the event that you are unable to do so as a result terminal injury or illness.
Donating and organ to another in need is literally THE GIFT OF LIFE!

Just thought I'd share this, something I feel strongly about.
