Gift of life: An organ donor can note the organs to be donated with this card.



SEREMBAN:
More than 20,000 people in Malaysia are waiting for donor organs, particularly kidneys.

The queue keeps growing longer because every year there are merely about 30 cases of organ and tissue donations from those who have already died, while a live donor can only give one kidney or part of his liver to a close family member.
