Each day in Hong Kong, some 2,000 people hoping to regain a normal and healthy life wonder if they will receive an organ transplant today. Some may be waiting for a cornea so that they may see again, or for vital organs, such as kidney, liver or even a heart in order to live. Support for organ donation is necessary to make avail hope to these patients and their family members.

香港每天最少有二千名病者急切期待重獲新生；他們有的渴望重見光明，有的急需其他器官如腎臟、肝臟或心臟，好讓生命得以延續。要令這些病人和他們的家庭成員重燃希望，支持器官捐贈是必須的。

Establishment of The Hong Kong Medical Association

Organ Donation Register Fund Limited

香港醫學會器官捐贈名冊

基金有限公司的成立

The Hong Kong Medical Association Organ Donation Register Fund Limited was set up in July 1994 to provide proper management and financial support to the Organ Donation Register as well as to promote the good cause of organ donation in Hong Kong. This organization had arranged various activities such as organ donation walk, exhibition, health talks and a secondary school organ donation slogan competition to promote the significance of organ donation. Health information cards had also been printed to spread the message.

In 1996, an Organ Donation Van was donated by Oriental Press Charitable Fund Association, to help reach out to residents in housing estates to promote organ donation and collect donation pledges. Since the setting up of the Central Organ Donation Register by the Government in 2008 with online registration of organ donation pledges, the purpose of this van has become obsolete. It was donated to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind in 2010.

香港醫學會器官捐贈名冊基金有限公司成立於1994年7月，旨在對器官捐贈名冊的日常運作及提供財政支援，與此同時向市民大眾宣揚器官捐贈的概念，推廣這項美意善行。我們已舉辦了各色各樣的活動，例如器官捐贈慈善行、展覽、健康座談及中學器官捐贈標語創作比賽，以提高社會對器官捐贈的認識。我們還印製了健康資訊咭，傳揚器官捐贈的訊息。

在 1996 年，東方報業慈善基金會捐贈了一輛小型客貨車，以支持我們在屋邨的推廣活動，以及協助收集捐贈表格。自政府於2008年成立可網上登記的中央器官捐贈名冊後，該小型客貨車亦退下推廣器官捐贈的前線，於2010年被轉贈至香港盲人輔導會。

The HKMA organ donation registry

香港醫學會器官捐贈名冊

Hand in hand with the setting up of the Organ Donation Register Fund Limited, The Hong Kong Medical Association set up a computer based central organ donation registry. All willing organ donors were asked to discuss with their next of kin before signing and returning the organ donation forms. All returned and completed organ donation forms were scanned and the image stored in a central database, which facilitated authorized persons of the transplant team to go online and match a potential donor at any time.

This system increased the communication between the transplant coordinator and the relatives. There was no need for donors carry organ donation cards. The registry stored all donation forms of transplant campaigns organized by other institutions/societies and acted as a barometer of organ donation awareness. Up to end of 2010, there were over 45,000 forms in our registry.

除了成立器官捐贈名冊基金有限公司，香港醫學會於同年特別成立電子化器官捐贈名冊及。有意成為捐贈者的人士，向直系親屬表明和解釋個人意願後，可將填妥的捐贈同意書寄回。所有填妥交回的捐贈同意書，都會掃瞄成圖像檔儲存於中央資料庫，方便器官移植小組內獲授權人士隨時上網進行配對。

這方法既可淡化移植協調員與遺屬間的鴻溝，又免卻捐贈者隨身攜帶捐贈卡的麻煩。捐贈名冊將所有由不同機構舉辦的推廣活動中收集回來的捐贈同意書儲存，作為一個計算捐贈意願的指數。截至二零一零年底，冊上有超過45,000位已登記的捐贈。

Centralised Organ Donation Register (CODR)

中央器官捐贈登記名冊

Over the years, the need for organ transplantation is ever rising. It is deem necessary to pool all possible efforts to promote organ donation and to better manage willing donors' information. In this connection, the three parties: the Hong Kong Medical Association, the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority joined hands and discussed the motion of the HKSAR Government taking over and managing the central database. With months of co-ordination and liaison, the Department of Health set up a Centralised Organ Donation Register in the fall of 2008 to manage donors' personal data and their declared wish. 

Seven years after the setting up of the Centralised Organ Donation Register, the Hong Kong Medical Association Organ Donation Register Fund Limited was formally deregistered in 2015. However, the Association will still join hands with the Government and other organisations to promote public awareness in organ donation.

這些年來，器官移植的需求有增無減，我們認為有必須更集中地推廣器官捐贈及統籌捐贈者的資料。遂於年前與衞生署和醫院管理局商討由香港政府接手管理中央資料庫。經過多方面的協調和磋商，衞生署於二零零八年秋季設立「中央器官捐贈登記名冊」，統一管理登記者的個人資料及捐贈意願。

在中央器官捐贈登記名冊成立數年後，香港醫學會器官捐贈名冊基金有限公司於二零一五年正式從公司登記冊上註銷，但醫學會仍會舉辦大大小小的推廣活動，提高市民對器官捐贈的意識。
