Hi there,

Found some interesting info.

http://cks.library.nhs.uk/patient_inform…

It is from the nhs (UK) and says that about 2700 race have an organ transplant in the uk....and more than 7000 people are waiting for one.

If you are looking for the US stats consequently:

Over 20000 people have a organ transplant in the US and within 2004 over 87,000 were waiting for one.

see: http://www.washprofile.org/en/node/3384

Worth just noting that not everyone surivives an organ transplant, while rates are some what better than what they be 20 years ago, they are not 100 percent. complications include; failure of the new organ to work in the merciful, rejection of the organ, infection etc.....

Also worth noting that some people really need an organ transplant but are too unwell to recieve one and accordingly will never recieve one.

Good luck with your project! ANy further questions just ask!

Best wishes! Source(s): Im a medical student (check out the links for more interesting info.)
