BBC Asian Network: The Gift of Life

Step 1: Open BBC Sounds

Step 2: Search "Asian Network News Presents: The Gift of Life"

Step 3: immerse yourself in this 60-minute podcast where myself and 4 other speakers share our journey with organ donation, and address some of the much-needed conversations to be had within our ethnic minority communities.

As you sip your chai, we will delve into topics such as:

• Why is organ donation not spoken about in ethnic minority communities?

• What influences their decisions around becoming an organ donor?

  • Is it cultural factors?

  • Is it religious factors?

• Why is it important that more ethnic minorities have the conversation around organ donation?

Acknowledgements:

I want to thank BBC Asian Network for organising the podcast, giving myself and the rest of the panel a platform to speak openly about organ donation and address the taboo, misinformation, and lack of awareness around organ donation within ethnic minority groups.
