What is Known:

There is an urgent need for very small organs and tissues from neonatal donors

What is New:

A number of neonates who died in the NICU were suitable organ or/and tissue donors but were not recognized as donors.

Knowledge on neonatal donation possibilities is also important for proper counseling of parents who sometimes inquire for the possibility of organ and tissue donation.
