What is organ transplantation? How does the treatment work? How can a person cope with the diagnosis and the waiting time for an organ? What is life like after a transplant? How do you express your gratitude to unknown organ donors?
Watch the video footage in which organ recipients speak openly and honestly about the illness that led to the failure of a particular organ, the fears of diagnosis, the process of waiting for treatment, the moment they got the call, the operation, recovery, life after transplant, the healthcare experience, co-operation with doctors, support mechanisms, approach and attitude to treatment and finally about the importance of becoming an organ donation.
Their messages are encouraging for anyone waiting for treatment and for anyone still considering why they should join the donor register.
