Commonwealth Tribute to Life Project
Barbados has joined other nations of the Commonwealth in working together to increase ethical organ and tissue donation and transplantation, regardless of transplant infrastructure, for the benefit of all Commonwealth citizens. The project aims address the challenges to increase rates of donation across all social groups, ethnicities and religions, and believes more can be done to share knowledge and expertise using the historical ties and established relationships of citizens and governments of the Commonwealth.
