”No pienses en la donación
de órganos como ofrecer una parte de ti para que desconocido pueda
vivir ...
... es en realidad un desconocido quien ofrece todo su cuerpo para que una parte de ti pueda seguir viviendo…” - Fundación Carlos Sanz

Do not think about organ donation as offering a
part of you so a stranger can live ...
... it is in fact, a stranger who offers his
whole body so a part of you can continue living ... - Fundación Carlos Sanz

This is
Lorena Navarro Campo, we had the pleasure to meet her and asked her to talk
about organ donation and how works in her country. Lorena comes from
Barranquilla, Colombia but she lives and works in Sweden now, though she keeps
close ties to her mother country. Her profession is as an industrial engineer, but
she has other skills among she speaks three languages which comes in handy as
she is an experience traveler.
“In
Colombia it is presumed that everybody is a potential organ donor when a person
during her/his life has abstained from exercising her/his right to oppose to
donate after death.” Source: http://es.presidencia.gov.co/normativa/normativa/LEY%201805%20DEL%2004%20DE%20AGOSTO%20DE%202016.pdf
Since the law was created in 2016,
the organ donation in my country has growth 30% and it is expected to grow more
in the upcoming years. - Lorena Navarro Campo
Thank you,
