Every year, hundreds of Romanians are diagnosed with severe conditions that compromise the functioning of their vital organs. For many of them, transplantation is their only chance of survival. However, the number of donors remains insufficient due to a lack of information and persistent misconceptions about donation. It is clear that this act must take place under morally and ethically regulated conditions, and as long as it does not alter human dignity, restrict the donor's freedom, or endanger their life, organ and tissue donation is an act of supreme altruism - a real chance at life for those on transplant waiting lists.
The "Prin Tine Faci Bine" Association aims to create an open social framework, supporting public opinion in Romania on its path toward achieving the vision seen in countries where organ transplantation is a common practice, regarding the necessity of a clearly defined option on this major aspect of saving human lives.
The perception that organ donation is a natural act has led to the creation of efficient and well-regulated systems in many European countries. Romania, too, needs to adopt similar policies that promote clarifying each citizen’s status regarding donation through an explicitly expressed and pre-established consent system. Additionally, there must be greater involvement from authorities, medical institutions, and non-governmental organizations in awareness campaigns, ensuring people understand the impact and benefits of this noble gesture.
By prioritizing this issue at the national level, Romania can become an example of human solidarity and responsibility in creating new chances at life for those who are suffering.
