In honor of #OrganDonationWeek, we’re sharing some fascinating facts with you, beginning with the letter E in Donate. Each year, over 1,000 people in the UK donate a kidney or part of their liver while they’re still alive, helping a relative, friend, or even a stranger.

As part of #OrganDonationWeek, we're continuing with the letter T in Donate. Transplant patients take immunosuppressant medication to reduce the risk of their body rejecting the new organ.

For #OrganDonationWeek, we’re focusing on the letter A in Donate. An organ transplanted from a living donor often starts functioning more quickly and can last longer compared to one from a deceased donor.

As part of #OrganDonationWeek, we're highlighting the letter N in Donate. Nearly 8 years ago, Kidney Wales spearheaded the campaign to introduce the opt-out organ donation law in Wales.

Continuing #OrganDonationWeek with the letter O in Donate. Organs that can be transplanted include the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and small bowel.

Continuing #OrganDonationWeek with the letter D in Donate. During 2022/23, there was a 5% increase in the number of patients whose lives were saved or improved through an organ transplant
