'It literally is the gift of new life': HSE urges people to 'have the conversation' about organ donation

Edel Cashman, from Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, received a liver transplant in recent years.

The HSE is urging people to “have the conversation” with loved ones about organ donation, as the pandemic has significantly decreased organ donation and transplantation rates.

Today marks European Day for Organ Donation and Transplantation, dedicated to promoting awareness of organ donation and honouring donors and their families.
