Organ Donation Promotion Charter

The Government has set up the Committee on Promotion of Organ Donation (“the Committee”) to further promote organ donation in April 2016 to co-ordinate and integrate the work by different government departments and organisations on organ donation, so as to amplify the promotional effect. The Committee is responsible for implementing the Organ Donation Promotion Campaign, which includes formulation of organ donation promotion strategy and direction, coordination and collaboration with other partners in conducting organ donation promotional activities and programmes and conducting public education.

In June 2016, the Organ Donation Promotion Campaign introduced the “Organ Donation Promotion Charter” and invited various organisations in the community to become partners and signatories of the charter, thus signifying their support towards the promotional activities on organ donation.
