More should be done for organ transplant

I REFER to the letter published in The Star on Nov 7 titled “The unsung heroes behind organ donation in Malaysia” (online at bit.ly/4o37tMS), which rightly honours the donor coordinators who shoulder the operational burden of turning tragedy into the gift of life. Their commitment deserves far stronger support.

But while we celebrate these heroes, we must also confront an uncomfortable reality: Malaysia’s system is still failing the majority of people who need it – currently that’s 55,000 kidney dialysis patients.
