Organ donation benefits all

I WRITE in support of the statement by Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, “Ministry: Clinical criteria determine recipients of organs” (The Star, Feb 13) and Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye’s letter, “Bad press hits organ donation” (The Star, Feb 14).

I would like to reiterate that there is no distinction of race or religion in the practice of medicine and in the care of the sick and needy.
