Article Synopsis
- Organ transplantation in Australia relies heavily on deceased donors, with Indigenous Australians participating in organ donation at two-thirds the rate of non-Indigenous Australians.
- A study focused on the experiences of Indigenous people revealed key barriers to organ donation, including cultural taboos, discomfort in discussions, inadequate education, and distrust in the healthcare system.
- Recommendations include improving cultural competence among clinicians and providing targeted, community-based education about organ donation before individuals face critical health situations.
