Years ago, I faced a story (1) that taught me a lesson about the role of the organ procurement personnel in enrollment of potential donors (2,3). A couple of weeks ago, I faced another story that also emphasized the role of organ procurement personnel. Although these cases have occurred in very different parts of the world, they are similar in a way that commitment, creativity and altruism of organ procurement personnel have made a difference by turning potential donors into actual ones. The result has been successful organ procurement from international potential donors.
