The number of people registering for organ donation is still very low, so it is necessary to step up the building of the legal corridor on this sensitive issue.

One cornea donor can restore sight for 2 people. Over the years, the meaningful deed has been promoted by many localities. Many people have decided to donate their cornea and organ tissue after death.

The number of people registered for tissue and organ donation has remained very small and fails to meet the nation’s demand for organ transplants, said Nguyen Hoang Phuc, Deputy Director of the National Coordinating Centre for Human Organ Transplantation.
