Shaping a more efficient organ transplant system
Organ donation should be understood as an act of generosity and solidarity—a gesture that can make the difference between life and death for those who are suffering. For organ transplantation to become a viable solution for patients in need, it is essential for Romania to improve its current system. At present, the main obstacles to an efficient system include a lack of information, ambiguous legislation, and a low number of donors.
The "Prin Tine Faci Bine" Association aims to identify the main obstacles in Romania that hinder the development of a more efficient organ transplant system.
To this end, we will advocate for:
- conducting opinion polls to better understand public perception of organ donation and to identify solutions tailored to Romania’s social realities.
- increasing awareness among young people to foster an open and empathetic generation.
- initiating legislative changes. A clear and efficient legal framework can facilitate organ donation and ensure a transparent and ethically sound process.
- enhancing the legal framework to implement a system of explicitly expressed consent regarding organ donation. This system, already adopted in many European countries, would allow individuals to express their choice to become donors in advance, preventing obstacles caused by the lack of clear consent.
