Patients waiting for organ transplants face shortages
Thousands of patients in Thailand are now on a life-or-death waiting list, praying every day with their family members for an organ transplant. Despite increasingly advanced medical technology, their vital surgeries cannot take place without an act of kindness from fellow humans. “One organ donor can give a new life to up to seven people,” Organ Donation Centre director Dr Visist Dhitavat said. Established in 1994, the centre has recently tried to raise public awareness of the waiting list and encourage organ donations.
