How to become an organ donor
TELL wants to encourage everyone to have the conversation about organ and tissue donation. If a conversation around organ donation has taken place between family members then, getting a family’s consent to donate becomes less stressful as they are more confident that they are honouring the last wishes of their loved one. TELL encourages the public to TELL THEIR TRIBE of their organ donation status so that at a time where consent is needed, family members do not decline due to confusion.
“tell your family, friends and colleagues in person, via social media or e-mail. Here you will find some ideas on how to start the conversation; use newspaper articles, TV, radio programme or social media posts to start the conversation. Tell them why you want to donate your organs, explain how you reached your decision. Your family and friends won’t know how you feel about organ and tissue donation unless you tell them.
The law in South Africa states that you need to make your intentions to donate known. It is important to note that hospitals consult the family concerning a person’s final wishes. This makes it even more important for you to tell your tribe, tell your team and make it known that you want to be a donor.
As an organ donor, you’re clear on what you want to happen when you go. But even if you’ve registered, your wishes may not be fulfilled if your next of kin are unaware of your intentions.
Make sure you have the conversation that matters most. Make sure you #makeitknown!
