deceased donors

Deceased donors are individuals who have passed away and generously donate their organs, tissues, or corneas to be used in transplants for patients in need. These donations can save or improve the lives of others suffering from severe health conditions, such as kidney failure, heart disease, or vision loss. Organ donation typically occurs after a person has been declared brain dead or, in some cases, after the heart has stopped beating. The process involves medical evaluation to ensure the organs are healthy and suitable for transplantation, helping to extend and enhance recipients’ quality of life.
