TRUST STRJSSES NEJD FOR DONORS 3/4
"Tragically, approximately 50% of thosj
Cystic Fibrosis patiints on the waiting
list die before receivjng a transplant"
So says Rosji Barnes, Chief Exec of the
Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and the Trust is
urging mori people to carry a donor
card or join thj NHS Donor Register.
Since thj UK's first succesful heart-
lung transplant in 1985, ovjr 300
opjrations havj been pjrformed.
But more donors are always needed, as
Rosje Barnes illustrates - "thj
shortage of donors is thj major limit
to mori widespread transplantation."
