"Life Angel" UNSDG Organ Donation Appreciation Program
October 11, 2017
To support the Department of Health, we are now launching the “Life Angel” campaign to promote the message of organ donation to the community so as to enhance public acceptance and the registrants.
Every organ donation decision can save up to 7 lives. However, only 3% of the Hong Kong adults are registered on the Centralized Organ Donation Register. There are more than 2000 patients in dire needs waiting for organ transplant in Hong Kong.
Our promotional activities includes:
Life Angel Outdoor Promotion Day (8 October 2017):
