Every day, there are over 2000 patients in Hong Kong having an imminent need for organ or tissue transplant. Without the matched organs, these patients can do nothing but to struggle with sickness in darkness, with their lives heavily dependent on medical equipment and medicines. Some of them may not hang on for long. To help the patients with imminent need for organ transplant, you can indicate your wish to donate your organs after death.

The Department of Health (DH) has set up the Centralised Organ Donation Register (CODR) to make it more convenient for prospective donors to voluntarily register their wish to donate organs after death, and for such wish to be more reliably and securely recorded. The CODR will enable medical personnel responsible for organ donation to know upon the patients' death about their wish to donate organs, and the bereaved family to acknowledge the deceased's wish to rekindle lives of other people. For more information, please visit the organ donation thematic website of the DH at www.organdonation.gov.hk, or the “Organ Donation@HK” Facebook page at www.facebook.com/organdonationhk.

You can pass on your love to other people after you have died by donating organs. Please click “Register now”, take a few simple steps to register in the CODR and speak out your wish to your family members.
