The concept of "keeping the body intact" persists, and the organ donation rate is still not ideal

Media Interviews / /

Currently, nearly 400,000 people have registered for organ donation, a record high, but Hong Kong is still one of the regions with the lowest organ donation rate in the world, falling to a new low of less than 4 people per 1 million people in the past two years. Some doctors suggested that in addition to strengthening education and breaking the traditional idea of "leaving an intact body after death", efforts should be made to find potential donors from hospitals, such as setting up a transplant team composed of doctors to assist. Another doctor reiterated the introduction of the "default consent" mechanism popular in foreign countries, allowing citizens who do not want to donate organs to register voluntarily; the think tank pointed out that Hong Kong people's concepts are still conservative, and it is appropriate to implement it when society is more accepting of organ donation. Last month, Hong Kong received cross-border organ donations from the Mainland for the second time. Some doctors hope that it will be regularized as soon as possible so that more patients can benefit.
