[Now News Channel]A patient who has successfully received a heart transplant calls on the public to actively register for organ donation without worrying too much.

The 71-year-old Mr. Zeng had a heart problem more than 20 years ago. As he grew older, his heart function deteriorated day by day. He successfully transplanted his heart 7 years ago; and the 61-year-old Mr. Ma had only about 30% of his heart function 7 years ago. Successfully paired with a suitable heart.

They describe successful heart transplantation as like escaping death, and they can start a new life, hoping to use their own experience to promote organ donation.

Regarding the recent cancellation of organ donation registration by many people, both of them hope that more Hong Kong people will give selflessly.

Heart transplant patient Tsang Wing-keng: “People always have to leave. When they leave, the internal organs in the body are still alive and usable. Why can’t they be passed on to the next generation or given to other people? At present, most of them are buried in Hong Kong. , Most of them will be cremated, it seems a pity to rashly burn things you don’t want.”

Ma Changchu, a heart transplant patient: “I have experienced heart transplant patients for the first time. I feel that we need the selflessness of the donor. Our consideration is the first. Just now you said that the government checks things. Frankly speaking, I didn’t think about it, because the patient may be sick. I’m about to faint, I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.”

There are currently 80 patients waiting for a heart transplant, and 3 people have successfully received a heart transplant in the first quarter of this year.
