Government announces appointments to Committee on Promotion of Organ Donation
*****************************************************************************
Established in April 2016, the Committee is responsible for formulating strategies and directions for organ donation promotion, co-ordinating activities for promoting and facilitating organ donation, as well as formulating programmes and activities to encourage and educate the public on organ donation.
In addition, the Committee co-ordinates and integrates relevant work by government departments and organisations to augment public education and publicity, so as to foster and fortify the culture of organ donation.
Under the steer of the Committee, various promotional activities such as promotional booths, talks, campaigns and ceremonies, together with publicity campaigns through a wide range of channels, were organised in the past six years to promote organ donation and encourage registration for the Centralised Organ Donation Register.
The Food and Health Bureau expressed its gratitude for the contributions and efforts of the Committee to promote organ donation in the past two years. The Government will continue to inculcate a culture that is receptive to and appreciative of organ donation. It is hoped that through these efforts, more Hong Kong people will be willing to donate organs after death to save other people's lives.
