Looking Back: ‘Sharing Knowledge \u2013 Saving Lives!’<\/h1>\n

Under the motto “Hanover shows what donation can do,”<\/strong> the German Society for Tissue Transplantation (DGFG) hosted its first information day on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. The event invited students and nursing trainees to explore the topic of donation in all its forms. The DGFG was supported by AOK Niedersachsen in organizing the day. Held at the Hanover Congress Center, the event drew more than 150 participants, who had the opportunity to learn about organ, tissue, blood, and stem cell donation through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the event was a panel program moderated by Dr. Carola Holzner, known as “Doc Caro.” Organ and tissue donation coordinators, transplant officers, recipients, family members, and others affected shared their powerful stories, raising awareness and providing insights into organ and tissue donation. The final panel discussion featured State Secretary Dr. Christine Arbogast, adding further depth to the conversation.<\/p>\n

The stage program concluded with a compelling appeal from poetry slammer Tobias Kunze, urging everyone to make a decision about donation, record it, and talk openly with their families. The day underscored the vital role of education, encapsulated by the slogan “Sharing Knowledge \u2013 Saving Lives!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tissue, organ, blood, and stem cell donations are essential components of healthcare in Germany. For many, they are life-saving or critical for restoring quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
