Diabetes is a medical condition affecting more than 150 million people around the world. It is one of the leading causes of death in the civilized world. Keeping blood sugar within normal limits is crucial to preventing damage to major organs in the body. Even with the best efforts, this is sometimes an impossible task.

Diabetes mellitus (Type I and Type II) are the most recognized forms of diabetes. Type I is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas known as the Islets of Langerhans. Experimental replacement of these cells by live donors is being researched.

Organ Transplant for Diabetes Control
With so many people in need of a pancreas transplant for diabetes-related complications, the waiting list is long. Often, this waiting time reduces the chance a patient has of recovery. At J. Cohan and Associates, we can reduce the lengthy waiting periods by working with non-U.S. countries to secure organs for transplant. We only work with countries that adhere to "Presumed Consent" policies. If you or a loved one cannot or does not want to wait for the extended period often necessary in the United States, let us help you find a solution.

The governments of the countries we work with regulate the programs related to donor organs. These programs provide for a legal method of acquiring organs from cadavers. The abundance of organs available makes it possible to obtain a match much sooner than is usually possible in the United States. Our program includes the price of travel, hospital fees, and all related expenses. For more information, call 818-504-2318 and speak to one of our international transplant coordinators.
