Organ donations

Organ donations help to save thousands of lives each year and Rehman has been raising awareness in Parliament of the importance of transplants. He has received the support of the Prime Minister to encourage more people to register as donors.

In an article for Conservative Home, Rehman has argued that more can be done to remember those who donate their organs through a day of remembrance.

Writing in the Daily Jang, during Transplant Week, Rehman encouraged more people from ethnic minorities to consider becoming organ donors.

In 2012, the Transplant Games were held in Gillingham for the first time in its 35 year history, which involved around 1000 participants who had received life saving organ transplants.
