More instruction, more organ donations

Abstract

After the development of surgical techniques and the arrival of new immunosuppressant medications, the organ transplantation was established as the elected treatment for end-stage diseases. One of the main limiting factors to increase the organ captivation is the lack of information both among the population and the health professionals involved. The purpose of this study is to discuss some considerations on how people with higher education level seem to better accept the organ donation. This review will aim the need to educate individuals, seeking to increase the amount of organ donation, thus promoting a higher clarification level among the population on the organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
