Why is it important for all transplantees to participate in/attend the NTG?
The NTG sets the stage to:
-
demonstrate in mass the improved quality of life following transplantation and through that, promote awareness for organ donation and transplantation;
-
show recipients’ gratitude towards, and recognition of living donors and families of deceased donors;
-
celebrate the ability to meet again to collectively demonstrate our gratitude for being able to participate in sporting events and to support each other;
-
act as a vehicle for transplant athletes to attain the qualifying standards required for selection to the South African Team to participate in the World Transplant Games 2019 in Newcastle, England;
-
Attending and participating in the Annual General Meeting gives you the opportunity to have a say in the business of the Association.
