Organ donation in South Africa

Guest: Stella De Kock - Managing Director at TELL  Approximately 4700 people are waiting for a life-saving organ or cornea transplant in South Africa, but only 0.2% of our population are registered organ donors. Organ and tissue donation is a simple choice that will cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time to register.  How can attitudes towards organ donation be changed?  Our guest today is from an organisation called TELL -Transplant Education for Living Legacies) was created in part to educate South Africans about organ and tissue donation. Two of the three founders received lifesaving lung transplants which not only gave them a second chance at life but also put them in the unique position to make a difference in the transplant community.  Website: tell.org.za
