Q:
HOW DO I CONVINCE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO VOLUNTARILY DONATE? ( From Euthopia).
Ans:
On average, Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority transplant recipients wait more than a year longer than their white counter parts for a transplant.
1 in 5 people who died on the Transplant Waiting List last year were from a Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority Backgrounds.
Over 1800 Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority patients are currently waiting for a transplant. They need you.

MY DONOR REGISTRY HASN’T BEEN ACCESSIBLE.
( From Kenya).
Ans:
Internet search has helped people locate their donor registry, bodies and charities that has helped them with the process of achieving a test.
Contact your donor registry in your various countries to achieve this and let’s increase the low problematic number of only 13% of the 1.9 Million on the donor registry.
