On September 27th, the professor of the Medicine course and doctor of the Bahiana Health Dr. Paulo Bitencourt and patients Rita de Cassia Troccoli and Antônio Muccini carried out a seedling distribution campaign at the Medical Center of Bahiana. The objective of the event was to raise awareness among patients, students and employees about the importance of registering as organ donors in the AEDO system - Electronic Authorization for Organ Donation. The action was part of the Green September campaign to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation.

The AEDO is an electronic form of authorizing the donation of organs, tissues and parts of the human body. Once this authorization has been completed, if necessary, your doctor will be able to access and act in accordance with the declaration.

The 2024 Green September campaign aimed to raise awareness among the population about the importance of organ donation and encourage family conversations about the subject. The color green was chosen to represent the campaign because it is associated with hope, health, renewal, and life. Organ donation can save lives, as was the case of Rita de Cassia Troccoli and Antônio Muccini, transplant patients treated by Dr. Paulo Bittencourt. However, the family is a key player in the transplant process, as they are responsible for authorizing the donation of the deceased person's organs.
