Living Donations Drop, Deceased Donors Rise

Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

Australian living organ donations plummet, while deceased donations surge, leaving over 1,500 patients waiting over five years for a kidney transplant. Advocates fear the focus on deceased donations is overshadowing living ones, which offer the best results. Despite a national strategy to boost all donations, a public campaign for living donors remains unfunded, despite being a top priority. Success stories like a mothers kidney gift to her daughter highlight the potential of living donations to ease wait times and improve lives.
