Organ Donation
We hope you can all please make your family and friends aware of a very important campaign to promote Organ Donation amongst the Punjabi, Asian and Sikh communities. More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need an organ transplant. 1,000 people die each year (three people a day) because there are not enough organs available. Organ transplants are much more likely to be successful if the organ donor and the person needing the organ are matched. Nearly 20% of people requiring an organ transplant are from the Asian community but only around 1% of organ donors each year are Asian. Sangat TV are showing a series of special Sangat Health shows on this topic every tuesday evening at 8.30pm. These were filmed in conjunction with City hospital in Birmingham and NHS Blood and Transplant
