And … Organ Donations
By Muhammad Saleem msaleem@gmail.com
I wanted to share our latest infographic with you, on organ donors and organ donation. Here are some of the highlights we uncovered:
- Every 10 minutes someone is added to the National Transplant Waiting List.
- Every donor can on average save up to 8 lives.
- Every day an average of 79 people receive organ transplants and 18 people die waiting for transplants.
Assessment
The gap between organ donors and people on the transplant waiting list continues to widen.
