Special Benefits in Israel for Becoming an Organ Donor

The National Israel Transplant Center will give special benefits to people who register as an organ donor before March 31. Anyone who selects to be an organ donor will receive high priority status in receiving an organ for himself or for a first-degree relative. 

There has been high demand to take advantage of this opportunity. The number of potential donors now exceeds 600,000, where the rate of registration used to be one of the lowest in the Western world.
