Last year, the Bangkok Post ran an article about Thailand's desperate need for skin donors. Severe burn victims rely on donated skin to survive. But most people don’t know that when you pass on, your skin can still save lives. Vaseline has joined forces with the Thai Red Cross to spread awareness about this sensitive topic and get more registered skin donors. This is how you can help us answer Thailand's call.
Organ donation is well known around the world. But did you know that skin can be donated too? One small act today, can impact the lives of hundreds in years to come.
Our skin is like armour. It is our first defence against deadly infections. But the more damage it sustains, the less it protects us. For this reason, victims of severe burns are the most vulnerable and have the highest tendency to become infected.
After you pass on, your skin can still help these patients survive. The Thai Skin Bank ensures that skin donation, grafting and collection processes are safe and secure. So, become their real-life hero. Register as a skin donor today.
Few people are aware that skin can be donated. Misconceptions about the procedure reduce donor numbers drastically. But in reality, registering and donating is simple and painless. Unlike with many other organs, skin will only be taken after you pass on. No bleeding or damage is done to the area where skin is taken. The entire process is dignified and discreet.
