Organ shortage is the most significant factor in restricting the activities of transplantation systems.
We herein report the positive impact of Muslims' holy month of Ramadan on willingness to donate organs in Iran.
Data were derived from the database of Donation Willingness Registries, affiliated to the organ procurement unit of Masih Daneshvari Hospital during March 2007 till March 2008.
The number of applications for organ donation was compared between Ramadan and its previous month, and the socio-economic characteristics of the applicants were compared between those who applied in Ramadan and those who did so in the previous month.
In addition, the mean number of daily applications was compared between Ramadan and the other months of the same year.
A total of 11528 applications for organ donation cards were registered for the Ramadan of 2007 as opposed to 4538 applications in the previous month, showing an increasing rate of 154%.
The mean number of daily applications was significantly higher in Ramadan than that of the other months of the same year (P< 0.001).
There was also a significant difference in terms of the socio-economic characteristics between the applicants in Ramadan and those in the previous month.
The increase in organ donation willingness in Ramadan may be the result of the propagation of altruism by the mass media and religious organizations.
Ramadan seems to provide a great opportunity to promote organ donation across the Muslim world.
