Here are some common Q;
1) If a donor dies, how will u know?
2) If a donor dies & the family refuse to give the organs, will u still take organ by force?
3) What do i have to do,if i no longer wish to be a donor?
Below are the answers for the questions:
- Normally we will ask the family members whether they are aware of your wish to be a donor and that is why we always advise the pledgers to let their family know of the wish. Remember the small card that you need to keep…..it is one of the identification that you had pledge your organ…..so, always keep it in your wallet.
- If the family refused to give consent, we can’t proceed. So please inform your family of your wish before it’s too late
- You just give a call to 1-800-88-9080 or 03-26942704 and tell the staff that you want to cancel you wish and they will take out your name from the list.
