Hospitals involved in cornea donation program record high number of deaths, however only a small proportion of which are realized for cornea donation. This is particularly pronounced in DBD donors. SARS-CoV-2 pandemic left significant impact on donation program. However, CTCB recorded higher number of DBD donors during that period.
