24 August - Health - There's a critical need for Organ Donors!!!
In today’s show, we spoke to Philippa Douglas - Executive Director of the Organ Donor Foundation. According to the Foundation, Currently there are over 3,500 South Africans waiting for organ and tissue transplants. Sadly, as a result of this critical shortage less than 1,000 of them will receive a transplant and the "Gift of Life" this year. If you would like more information on how you can become an organ donor contact the Organ Donor Foundation on 0800 22 66 11 or check www.odf.org.za
