Organ Donation Online Registration :

Every day, there are over 2000 patients in Hong Kong having an imminent need for organ or tissue transplant.

Without the matched organs, these patients can do nothing but to struggle with sickness in darkness, with their lives heavily dependent on medical equipments and medicines. Some of them may not hang on for long.

To help the patients with imminent need for organ transplant, you can indicate your wish to donate your organs after death.

The Department of Health (DH) has set up the Centralised Organ Donation Register (CODR) to make it more convenient for prospective donors to voluntarily register their wish to donate organs after death, and for such wish to be more reliably recorded.

This Register will enable medical personnel responsible for organ donation to know upon the patients’ death about their wish to donate organs, and the bereaved family to acknowledge the deceased’s wish to rekindle lives of other people.

You can pass on your love to other people after you have died by donating organs. Please click into ‘Registration’, take a few simple steps to register in the CODR now and, to make known your wish to your family members.

Attention :
** Upon receiving your registration, DH will contact you by telephone to verify your personal particulars. If you cannot provide the requested information, your registration process may not be completed.

** Persons registering online with email provided will be issued an acknowledgement email upon confirmation of registration.

** If you have already registered your wish to donate organs after death and would like to update your particulars, please re-submit the registration form.

If you would like to withdraw your registration, please complete the withdrawal form. We will update your record or cancel your registration after verifying your personal particulars by telephone.

** Those who have registered in the CODR have the right of access and correction with respect to personal data as provided for in section 18 and 22 and Principle 6 of Schedule 1 of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.
