A transplant recipient has encouraged people to talk to their loved ones about organ donation following a recent awareness week.
Rachel O'Hora underwent a combined kidney and pancreas transplant back in 2022. She was first diagnosed with diabetes as a child, which led to many health complications, including kidney problems in her early adulthood.
The procedure took place in St Vincent's University Hospital weeks after Rachel's health took a turn for the worse. She has started to feel like herself again for the first time since the transplant and relishes her life post dialysis.
