Samuel Lee
Greetings,
I am Samuel Lee, President of the Korea Organ Donation Agency (KODA).
Thank you sincerely for visiting our website.
The Korea Organ Donation Agency is a specialized institution that receives reports of
potential brain-dead and tissue donors, managing cases to enable donation. With deep
respect for the generosity of donors and their families, we strive to continue the noble
value of life-sharing, safeguard public health, and enhance the quality of life for all.
Life-sharing is more than an individual choice — it is one of the most precious acts of
saving neighbors and society.
The noble decision made by donors and their families is a powerful legacy that must be
remembered by our community. We extend our deepest gratitude for their devotion and
express our respect to the medical professionals and all individuals who dedicate
themselves to the donation process.
Moving forward, the Korea Organ Donation Agency promises the following:
- We will enhance the life-sharing management system with professionalism and ethical standards, establishing ourselves as an institution trusted by all.
- We will honor the wishes of donors and their families and ensure a transparent and fair donation process.
- We will actively promote awareness to help establish a culture of life-sharing throughout society.
- We will strengthen cooperation with leading organizations overseas to become a world-class donation management institution.
We kindly ask for your continued interest and support.
Thank you.
