The Hamad Medical Corporation’s Qatar Organ Donation Centre (Hiba) has urged people to register to be organ donors.

HMC provides organ donation and transplant programmes in kidney and liver transplantation.

For many people a transplant can mean the gift of life and making the decision to register as a donor is a personal choice.

he Doha Donation Accord, which outlines how donors and recipients should be treated in Qatar, is built upon the model of equality and fairness and ensures that organs are distributed equitably among all nationalities, Qatar Organ Donation Centre director Dr Riadh Fadhil said.

If it could give a second chance to someone to continue his/her life after my death, I would be more than willing to join this program.
