South Africa Organ Donor foundation has encouraged the South Africans to become organ donors on the occasion of World Health Day.

The SA Organ Donation has urged the South Africans to donate organs and save the lives of thousands of people who are waiting for organ transplants. A single donor can give a new life to several different people and restore the vision of two more people.

At present, more than 3,500 people are waiting for organ transplants across South Africa. Many of the patients die after waiting for the transplants. Every day more people are added to the waiting list.

This led to a more complicated situation for her as she suffers from dementia, poor memory and cognitive disability now and after being virtually blind, she is not able to walk and talk.
