Organ Donation and Transplantation Save Lives


Organ donation begins with a person who recognizes an opportunity to help others, enrolls in a state donor registry, and shares the decision to be a donor with family members and friends. The culmination of the process occurs when the person donates - and saves or enhances the lives of as many as eight people who need an organ transplant. In the United States, the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services has oversight of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN).
