ACCESS Health urges coordinated efforts: strengthen ICU-to-transplant pathways, expand public education, support donor families, and eliminate logistical barriers so willingness leads to donation.

What matters most are people: clinicians who identify and refer potential donors; coordinators who support grieving families; policymakers who create transparent, fair systems; and citizens who talk with loved ones and register their wishes.

In 2023, just over 45,000 organ donors resulted in more than 172,000 transplants worldwide. However, transplantation still meets less than 10% of the global need. On World Organ Donation Day, we honor donors and the families whose generosity makes lifesaving transplants possible.

What if CME were built around you?. Continuing Medical Education is essential for delivering top-quality patient care, but it is often hindered by time pressures, high fees, limited course offerings, and content that falls short of expectations. We want to change that.
