Bad press hits organ donation

I SUPPORT the latest statement made by the Health Ministry on the issue of organ and blood donation, which should not touch on the donors’ racial and religious background “Ministry: Clinical criteria determine recipients of organs” (The Star, Feb 13).

The statement is timely as it could help answer the questions raised by several quarters on the status of organ and blood donation from non-Muslim donors to Muslim recipients and vice-versa, which has created confusion among the public.
