Information on new transplant legislation: how it was received by the general public and the action that ensued

The information campaign was successful. The leaflet was observed by many and discussed by two-thirds of those who had seen it, most often with relatives. All who have registered with the donor register have taken a stand on the donation of organs and tissues for transplantation or other medical purposes. Many more have probably signed donor cards or told the next of kin. It is suggested that the population has been properly informed. The number of cadaver donors, which has decreased the last number of years, seems to be unaffected.
