Increase in Organ Donation in Sweden |
The number of organs being donated by Swedes for transplant has been on the increase in 2006. In fact with organ donations from 136 persons in 2006, this has been the highest figure since 1991. For a few years around 2000, the number of donors stabilised around 100. But after an active information campaign, more people have been signing up to donate their organs. There are still considerable differences in numbers around the country, however. Many of Sweden’s 71 hospitals with intensive care wards, especially those in the north of the country, lack doctors and nurses to make organ donation a viable proposition.
