During the first nine months of the year, 156 deceased people have become organ donors – which is the highest number recorded for the period, according to a press release from the National Board of Health and Welfare.
In recent years, more and more organs have been donated. Last year, there were a total of 192 deceased who donated organs, which is the highest number recorded for a whole year.
Although the number of donors is increasing, there is still a great need for donated organs, and now it is also possible to register for the donation register via Vårdguiden 1177.se.
“We know that many people are more inclined to make a decision about donation when they are in caring environments. Therefore, in collaboration with Vårdguiden 1177, we have developed this opportunity to register directly via their website as well,” says Anna Aldehag, according to the press release.
