A photo exhibition portraying children waiting for an organ transplant has been displayed in Belfast on the first anniversary of landmark reform of Northern Ireland's donation laws.
The law was named after Belfast boy Dáithí Mac Gabhann who inspired a campaign to change organ donation laws in Northern Ireland.He is the subject of one of the powerful images that make up"The Call" exhibition. "Children like Dáithí wait around 2.5 times longer than adults for the gift of a transplant and face a higher risk of dying while on the waiting list.
"Though Dáithí is now featured in 'The Call', our family eagerly hopes for the day we receive that life-changing call. We have been campaigning for years now around organ donation and firmly believe that together, we can all make a huge difference and give children like Dáithí a chance at a brighter future."
One year on from the introduction of Dáithí's Law welcomed the increase in the number of donors and families supporting organ donation.
