Kidney Research UK’s Scottish South Asian (Sikh, Hindu and Muslim) Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Project

Lodged by Sandesh Gulhane Standard Motion 39 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of Kidney Research UK’s Scottish South Asian (Sikh, Hindu and Muslim) Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Project; understands that those from a South Asian background are five times more likely to start dialysis than those from other backgrounds and that registration on the organ donor register is low in these populations; notes that Kidney Research UK’s peer educator programme works with community volunteers to educate, discuss and answer questions on kidney health, disease and organ donation, and praises Kidney Research UK for adapting its ways of working during the COVID-19 pandemic by holding online webinar services via Zoom, to continue raising awareness of what it considers an important issue in Scotland.
