INCORT: Highlighting the Life-Saving Importance of Organ and Tissue Donation

INCORT highlights the importance of organ and tissue donation, a decision that can save up to 8 lives.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dom. Rep. – With the arrival of October 14, the entire world commemorates World Organ, Tissue and Transplant Donation Day, a day dedicated to highlighting the essence of the act of donating, a gift that can mean a new chance at life. The National Institute for Transplant Coordination (INCORT) joins this cause, emphasizing the importance of this act of generosity.

Donation is not simply an altruistic gesture, it is a decision that directly impacts those who face terminal organic diseases, with transplantation being their only hope for recovery. This possibility of returning to a full life lies in the will of those who, even in moments of deep pain, decide to donate the organs of a loved one.

INCORT urges the Dominican community to participate in this noble cause, informing their loved ones about their desire to be donors. A single donor can change the reality of up to 8 individuals, giving them a second chance to live fully.

On this special day, INCORT calls on all citizens to open dialogue within their families about donation, ensuring that their wishes are respected and carried out. Solidarity and empathy are essential to provide hope to those awaiting a transplant.

• INCORT, the entity in charge of coordinating and promoting donation and transplantation in the Dominican Republic, works tirelessly to save lives and improve the quality of life of those who benefit from a transplant. By collaborating with hospitals, medical professionals and patients, the institute seeks to ensure fair and equitable access to transplants.

Organ donation is an act of love, and together we can make a difference.
