17,000 new kidneys + 11,000 hearts etc becoming available?

Posted by jolinda @jolinda, Jul 10, 2019

I was shocked/delighted to see in the news that a government change that will allow tens of thousands of new organs to become available for people on the transplant lists. Is this real, if so it is AMAZING news for people in our community who are waiting and suffering! Does anyone know more about this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@jolinda, I did not see this. Where did you see or hear it?
