South Africans urged to consider organ donation

Senior medical practitioners have emphasised the importance of organ donation to save lives.

They have urged people to consent to donating the organs of deceased family members.

This plea was made at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre in Johannesburg during a ceremony celebrating a major milestone: the Wits Lliver Transplant programme has performed its 1 000th liver transplant.

This feat cemented the centre's place as one of Africa's leading solid organ transplant facilities.
