"Adi (the Israeli organ donor card foundation) has decided to
use election day (tomorrow) as an opportunity to register people as organ
donors.
"Here is the ynet article (in Hebrew):
לראשונה: עמדות החתמה לכרטיס אדי בקלפיות |
Assaf summarizes:
"This is a joint project invented by someone at the National Transplantation Center and approved by the Ministry of Health.
"This is a joint project invented by someone at the National Transplantation Center and approved by the Ministry of Health.
About 750 Adi representatives will stand near the voting
booths and will help citizens to sign the organ donor card at the same time
they come to vote. This is the first time it has been done in Israel (and I
couldn't find examples in other countries by searching in Google). Due to the
recent advertising campaign for the (relatively) new priority law and increased
attention in the public, Adi foundation expects about 720-750 thousand new
organ donors during election day (and if they'll do half of that, it will still
be an outstanding achievement in my opinion)."

"First, either I made a mistake reading, or they made a
mistake when they wrote the article which they fixed later on. The numbers were
supposed to be from 720,000 to 750,000 but not as an estimate but as a
difference (which makes much more sense), that is, they expected about 30,000
new organ donor card holders.
"Second, The actual output was 15,000 new organ donor card
holders, so about half as much as they expected. That also means about 20
donors per representative, which is about one donor every half an hour.
Frankly, I think this is embarrassing and I wouldn't expect any less than
that by putting an Adi booth at any crowded shopping mall... They are still
very happy of course."
