GOSH creates organ donation song
6 Sep 2018, 11:04 a.m.
Right now across the UK, there are approximately 150 children on the Transplant List.
Forty of those are Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) patients needing heart, lung and kidney transplants.
GOSH is a national transplant centre, with a leading role in providing paediatric transplant care for children from all over the UK. This Organ Donation Week, the hospital is urging families across the country to talk more often and more openly about organ donation in order to help save young lives.
To raise awareness this #OrganDonationWeek, GOSH staff, patients and families got together with Singing Hands, who regularly sing with GOSH patients, to make this amazing music video, singing and signing to the Disney song ‘You’ll Be in My Heart’.
While many children could receive an organ donation from an adult, for some, a young donor is their only hope. This means that seriously ill children waiting for a transplant are reliant on a family willing to donate their child’s organs.
