People from the South Asian and black communities living in Britain are three times more likely to need a kidney transplant, but just 1.2% and 0.4% of people from these communities have joined the NHS Organ Donor Register

Due to the shortage of compatible donors, South Asian and black patients on average have to wait nearly twice as long as a white person for an organ to become available. Apparently, just like in the United States, most organ donors in Britain are white.
