The Bermuda Organ Donor Association is encouraging patients waiting for organ donation to attend its event tomorrow.

The charity will bring together people who are waiting for a transplant with those who have been through the same, or similar, medical procedures as them.

Those who have had transplants will be wearing badges indicating which kind of transplant they have been through so those seeking advice can approach them. Organisers are also inviting those seeking tissue donation.

The informal gathering is due to take place from 6pm to 9pm at St Andrew’s Church (the pink church on the corner of Court and Church streets). There will be light refreshments and drinks. Entry is free.

In 2014, there were 17 people on the kidney transplant list and five awaiting evaluation for transplant. Last year, there were 20 people on the kidney transplant list and 10 awaiting evaluation for transplant.
