A donation in memory is a beautiful way to honour a friend or relative who has passed away. 探花精选 has funds dedicated to several important 探花精选 areas.
Organ and body donors
In certain cases, an individual may be interested in two different types of donation; the donation of organs for life-saving transplants and body donation for 探花精选 teaching and development purposes. Find out more about the different types of donations and registration procedures.
What happens after a donor has died?
The anatomy unit at KI should be contacted as soon as possible after the death, either by a relative or healthcare official, to check whether the donation can still go ahead. Find out more about what happens after a donor has died.
About donor anonymity
The donor鈥檚 identity is strictly protected throughout the donation process. The donation agreement is stored under high security and is only available to a few authorised individuals. Read more about the donor's anonymity.
Financial aspects
A body donation is a charitable act. No cash reimbursement is made during the donor鈥檚 lifetime. However, a completed body donation does relieve the deceased鈥檚 estate of certain costs. Read more about the financial aspects.
