Organ Donation In Bahrain

Abstract

Results: Quantitative parameters were extracted from responses and participants' views. The results showed that Bahrain has few people on the organ-donor register, few waiting for transplant surgery, and few who had undergone transplant surgery, in addition to very different responses regarding willingness to donate organs: many were not willing to donate their organs or not sure. Few knew about laws and regulations in Bahrain, which might have been the reason for the low numbers on the organ-donor register. Also, those willing to donate their organs were aged 18 – 24 years, but despite that, most would donate an organ for their loved ones, while on the other hand most would not donate family member ’ s organs. The results also showed that most would not donate for money. Conclusion: The data extracted from this study can be used in a quantitative description of organ donation in Bahrain in many aspects. Overall results show how to prevent the problem of organ failure by lessening prevalence its main factors and to spread awareness of donating organs.
