Promotion of organ transplants

The Green Ribbon is a symbol of global transplantation therapy, bearing the green, which means growth and new life.
Since the Organ Transplant Law came into effect on October 16, 1997, October is designated as the “Organ Transplant Promotion Month” every year.
With October 16 as Green Ribbon Day, we are working nationwide to further establish and spread organ transplants.
