In Switzerland, 187 people donated organs after their death last year. 637 people received an often life-saving organ, 115 came from a living donation. However, relatives often refuse a donation if the wishes of the person concerned are not known. A statement of wishes helps to implement the personal decision to donate and relieves the burden on relatives.
