Saudi Gazette | Laura Bashraheel

With the help of social media, a new awareness campaign is launched under the name “Be a donor, save a life” in an attempt to educate people on the issue of organ donation.

King Abdulaziz University (KAAU) in collaboration with the Saudi Center for Organ Transplants (SCOT), is launching a three-day awareness campaign on the 21st of November on organ transplantation and donation.
