Sealladh air saoghal tabhainn ball-bodhaig. A look inside the world of organ donation.

Sealladh air saoghal tabhainn ball-bodhaig, agus an iomadh duilgheadais a tha an cois fàilligeadh dubhaig. A look inside the world of organ donation.

Tha barrachd is 18 millean neach a-nise clàraichte air Clàr Luchd Tabhainn nam Ball-bodhaig anns an Rìoghachd Aonaichte, àireamh a th' air dùblachadh a dhà uiread sna deich bliadhna a dh' fhalbh. Ach chan eil an seo ach an treas chuid de shluagh na dùthcha, agus leis an sin tha clàradh a dhìth air iomadh neach eile.

'S e an dubhag am ball-bodhaig as cumanta a th' air a thabhainn. Ann an Trusadh : An Tiodhlac coinnichidh sinn ri cuid a tha beò leis an iomadh duilgheadais a tha an cois fàilligeadh dubhaig, agus dialysis a tha a' toirt ùine mhòr agus a tha uaireannan cràiteach, 's iad a' feitheamh air ath-chur dubhaig ùir. Coinnichidh sinn cuideachd ri cuid a th' air spionnadh as ùr fhaighinn nam beatha as dèidh dhaibh aon de na 'tiodhlacan as fheàrr' a b' urrainn fhaighinn.

A record 18 million people are now registered on the organ donor register in the UK, a figure that's more than doubled over the last 10 years. This though is still though only a third of the population, and many more people are needed to register.

The most common organ donated is the kidney. In Trusadh: The Gift we meet some of those living with the harsh reality of kidney failure and time-consuming, and at times painful dialysis, as they patiently await a transplant. We also meet those whose lives have been transformed, who have been given a new lease of life, following one of the 'greatest gifts' you can ever get.
