- Want to make a difference? Sign up for MOPO+ now and help raise awareness about organ donation!
A staggering statistic: if it weren't for a liver transplant, 21-year-old Paulina, a student from Hamburg, would cease to exist. She's not unique in this regard; she's one of the fortunate young ones to receive a lifesaving transplant from her own father at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). However, not every child is as fortunate as Paulina. The harsh reality is the low donation readiness of the Germans.
