The effect of The World Transplant Games on transplant rates in five continents.

Abstract:

:This paper outlines the effect that the Transplant Games have had in influencing public opinion and the translation of that effect resulting in increased organ donation and transplantation in the global venues in which this activity took place. A brief account of the history of the Transplant Games now 25 years after its inception is given. The ancillary steps which, over this period of time, have been found valuable in achieving a significant increase in organ donation are outlined. The positive effect of this sporting activity as an aid to the physical, psychological and social rehabilitation of previously debilitated individuals is discussed.
