DOI: 10.1097/01.tp.0000524993.15798.50
Abstract: Introduction Cadaveric donation in Mexico is made by consent of the nuclear family[1]. Their refusal leads to non-concretized donation (40.4%).[2] One way to address ignorance about health issues is providing information through a comic[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. We… read more here.
