Let's Talk About Organ Donation

Assalam'alaikum dear brothers, sisters and colleagues,

We pray you and your families are well and in the shade of Allah's blessings.

As part of Organ Donation Week, BIMA are hosting a national webinar on this important topic. It is part of our ongoing work in raising awareness of the new law, debunking myths, and bringing the Islamic discourse to the public so they can make an informed decision.

We supported Kidney Research UK with a webinar held on Wednesday in Scotland, which was a great success, and we even got a mention by Dr Nighat Arif on This Morning for the work we are doing:
