:04:04. > :04:06.kidney, and a new lease of life. Many more are waiting

:04:07. > :04:12.for the same chance. This is Wales's only transplant unit

:04:13. > :04:14.at the University Hospital Around 120 patients come here each

:04:15. > :04:21.year for a new pancreas or kidney. There are not enough
