Description

One of the side-effects of this pandemic is the sharp drop in life-saving organ transplants. Transplant centres across the country have massively scaled back as hospitals shift priotities to be able to handle COVID-19 cases. Sadly, as Allison Vuchnich explains, those on the waiting list, keep waiting.
