Abstract

Ten years have passed since the Organ Transplantation Law was enacted on October 16, 1997.However, to date, there have only been 67 organ transplantation cases from brain-dead patients inJapan. In addition, there has been no increase in the number of kidney transplants from cardiacarrest patients, even though it has been allowed before the start of the Organ Transplantation Law.Judging from the possession rate of the organ donation decision card reported by the CabinetOffice and Japan Organ Transplant Network, people’s intent to donate has not been fully utilized.In Tokushima Prefecture, in order to increase the number of card possession and to utilize betterthe intent of donors and their families, we have made an original organ donation decision card and abrochure to confirm their donation intentions.
