Jangseong-gun Public Health Center Designated as Organ Donation Registration Agency... Hopefuls Register

Jangseong-gun Public Health Center in Jeollanam-do has been designated as an organ transplant registration agency and is accepting registrations from those wishing to donate organs.

According to the county on the 30th, organ donation is a declaration of intent to donate one's organs to other patients unconditionally at the final moment of life. When a registered donor reaches brain death, the donation is carried out with the consent of one first-priority family member.
