'I've waited 4 years for a transplant'

Doctors say black and Asian patients are needlessly dying while waiting for organ transplants because of a severe shortage of ethnic minority donors in the UK.

Only a third of black and Asian families allow a dead relative's organs to be used, yet ethnic minority patients are three or four times more likely to suffer organ failure. That's because of a higher risk of developing diabetes or high blood pressure, both of which are a major cause of kidney failure.
