Today, we join the world in raising our voices for a cause that gives the gift of life. π«Ά
Organ donation saves millions of lives each year, yet many are still waiting for that life-changing call. We stand with liver patients, transplant recipients, caregivers, and their families β offering support, resources, and advocacy every step of the way. πͺπ«π
You have the power to change a life β one decision can be someoneβs second chance. β¨
Letβs break the myths, spread awareness, and encourage more people to say YES to organ donation. πβ
π Be a donor. Save lives. Leave a legacy. π
At Liver Diseases & Transplant Association of Kenya (LiDTAK), we shine a special light on liver donation β a truly unique miracle of medicine.
πͺ΄ Why is liver donation so special?
β
It regenerates β The liver is the only solid organ that can grow back to full size in both donor and recipient within months.
β
Living donors save lives β You donβt have to wait until after death to donate; a healthy person can give a portion of their liver while still alive.
β
Itβs often the only cure β For many with liver failure, a transplant is the only way to survive.
β
Every second counts β Liver disease can worsen quickly, making timely donation vital.
π By saying YES to liver donation, youβre not just giving an organ β youβre giving someone a second chance at life and leaving a legacy of hope.
π’ Letβs break the myths, raise awareness, and save more lives together.
Be a donor. Save lives. Leave a legacy. β¨
