One day you might be the “Receiver” or Giver”, certainty is as well uncertainty; this quote is applicable especially human health or life that is very uncertain. No one could ever know when they will become ill. Even though the advance of technology might find effective solution on creating new human organ that could work perfectly in order to implant on the patient who have lost their body parts such as heart, lung, liver or kidney.

The statistic of donated and implanted organs in Thailand on 31st of July 2007, there are 2,251 patients who have waited for new organs and within these numbers, there are the 1,947 patients having last state of renal failure who need the kidney implanted, 246 for liver, 14 for heart, 26 for both heart and lung, 7 for lung, 6 for liver and 5 for kidney and pancreas.

While every year there are less than 200 patients who received new organ implants in 2007. From 1st Jabuary-31st July, there are 127 patients who received new organ implanted, 103 for kidney, 18 for liver, 4 for heart, 1 for heart and lung and 1 for kidney and pancreas. Some of the patients have died while waiting for body implant. In 2006, there 59 patients who died while waiting for organ donate which is 2.75 from all the patients who wait for the organs.

No mat how far the new technology is, if we have no donated organs, the patients cold never be healthy like they used to. Some of the patients have decided to get body implant by asking their relatives which the donation has done while the owner is alive. This is one of the solutions, although the giver and receiver must be related by blood or marriage spouse only.

Sometimes we might have seen the news about merchandising organs from the countries, especially in Asia which brought from the people in the poor country. Organ merchandising is seriously illegal and immoral. In medical profession, there are researches towards body implant in order to stop merchandising organ problem to become more serious.

Thai Red Cross and other medical institutions have realized the problem of lacking donated organs so that the organ donate center has found in 1994,honoured as a director by Pol.Gen.Pao Sarasin in order to become the center of organ donation. The main policy of the center is to supply the organs equally and morally without merchandising and provide the best use of the donated organs. However, during the past 13 years, the center has not received enough organs for the patients which their numbers are increased every year.

On the occasion of 60th Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty’s Accession in to The Throne in 2006 and his Majesty 80th Anniversary in 2007, the Organ Donate Center by Thai Red Cross is campaigning for organ donation which supported by Ministry of Public Health, Nation Health Security Office and Thai Health Foundation.

The project of “Donating organ on the occasion of 60th Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty’s Accession in to The Throne” will be held from 1st June-31st December 2007 in which to help the patients waited for the donated organs to receive the organ implanted. 500 patients are expected to receive organs and the campaign on donating organ is as well for the charitable purpose toward his Majesty the King. This campaign attempts to broaden the networks and helps while changing the negative attitudes toward organ donation and associate with other organizations to receive donated organs and provide more channels to reach the donors.

Thai people are the major part in which to activate these projects to become successful and help other Thai for their better living.

Certainty is as well uncertainty. You never know that one day you might be the “receiver” or the “giver”.
