So it’s an immense act of generosity.”

However, almost 90% of relatives gave consent if they know it’s what the person who died has wanted.Have a look at our Medway Hospital Organ Donation Art page by clicking http://bit.ly/28TLDJZ where the video of the BBC South East news report has now been added.
