Study of the immigrant population's attitude towards organ donation in two groups from Pakistan and Morocco

Abstract

Organ transplantation may not be done without the awareness and active participation of the community: no donor organs, no transplants. In the past few years, Spain's growing immigrant population has posed new challenges in this field, and calls for reflection upon the most appropriate forms of intercultural dialogue. In consideration of the very special implications of organ donation, our interest was to define, compare and contrast the values and beliefs of two groups from Pakistan and Morocco.
