As a result of organ provision, a total of 263 organ transplants were implemented in Ireland this year.
The number has decreased slightly with the 282 numbers last year.
HSE's organ donation and port Irish office (ODTI) stated that the transplant was the result of 84 deceased donors and 30 living donors.
ODTI encouraged people to talk to those who love organs and inform them of their intentions.
“My donor's organ helped me and the other three to live a normal life,” said Cork's Mallow's William Mills.
In 2022, Mills, who combined the kidneys and pancreatic transplant, described the donation as an “incredible gift.”
“One of the decisions to become a donor can save many lives,” he added.
The three national transplant centers have completed 175 kidney, 40 liver, 13 lungs, nine heart, and four pancreatic transplants.
The numbers include kidney transplant from 30 living donors.
Some donated organs are provided to other countries because they do not have the right match in Ireland.
“Every year, both living and deceased's organ providers continue to concrete humanity by giving the ultimate gifts of life,” said Dr. Catherine Motherway of Odi. 。
“It is on behalf of our donors, donor family, transplant recipients, and people waiting for organ transplantation to express our gratitude and praise. It is the privilege of.
“Organs gifts change our lives of our recipients and really save their lives. These numbers represent a lot of life affected.”
According to the Minister of Health Steven Donnelli, he thanked the donors, their families, and medical staff, saying that organ was provided by organ.
“Thanks to you, other families still have their loved ones. Sadly, it doesn't apply to everyone, and some patients die every year while waiting for a transplant. , “He said.
“Next year, we will see the start of the 2024 Human Organization Law. If you do not like donations, we will introduce the” assumed consent “as an option that people opt -out. This law expands the route for life and altruistic organs. These help to increase the Ireland Donopur.
“The family will continue to be consulted before the donation, so it is important to talk about your beloved people and inform your intentions. If you find it, you can clearly give your loved one.

“Sustainable progress” is required
The Irish Kidney Association welcomed the publishing of this number, but said that the ground seemed to be lost, rather than developing additional transplant power.
In the statement, Carol Moore states: “If you make sustainable progress in the field of organ provision and transplantation, it is clear that the physical infrastructure required in hospitals, including theatrical space, beds, information technology, and staff, is not currently the case.”
The published number today indicates that 175 kidney transplantation is being carried out this year compared to 191 in 2023.
Squid also stated that it was waiting for the enactment of human organizational law, welcoming the start of annual donors to identify and duplicate the best practices.
