Argentina Marks Organ Donor Day With School Tributes and Orange-Lit Monuments

A 2020 law honoring María Antonella Trivisonno is driving broader adoption of organ donation awareness across classrooms and public spaces.

Overview

  • Santa Fe implemented a province-wide flag-raising in 5,500 schools and launched a 10-school pilot in Rosario coordinated by the Education and Health ministries and Cudaio.
  • A ceremony at Rosario’s Monumento a la Bandera brought together the Trivisonno family, provincial and city officials, and students to honor donors.
  • Buenos Aires illuminated the Puente de la Mujer, the Torre Monumental and the Monumento a los Españoles in orange after adhering to the national law through Law 6.752.
  • An official commemoration at the Buenos Aires Legislature is scheduled for September 3 with Silvia and Alejandro Trivisonno under the motto “Donante toda la vida y después, también.”
  • Argentina recorded 4,263 transplants in 2024, with donation rates rising since the 2018 “Ley Justina” presumed-consent reform.
