ORGAN DONOR DATA IN DRIVING
LICENSE
-Submitted by:

Introduction:
• Organ donation can be
defined as the process of
removal of an organ from
the body of an individual
to be transplanted into
another individual either
legally or by consent while
the donor is alive or dead.
• Studies suggest that 30%
of the deaths due to
failure of organs could be
saved by organ
transplantation across the
world (Ethredge et al.
2018).

Problem Statement:
• At present, there is no legislation that
would enable the government or the
organ transplantation organizations to
identify potential organ donor within
Saudi Arabia.

Research Rationale:
• Lack of awareness about
organ donation
• Barriers in the form of
cultural beliefs

large intestine, liver, female
and male reproductive organs
