Organ Donation: A Lifeline for End-Stage Disease Patients in India

• Organ transplantation is a significant treatment for terminal organ failure, yet in India, over half a million lives are lost annually due to lack of a suitable donor organ.

• The Indian organ donation rate per million population is only 0.8, lower than the highest rate in Spain and the United States.

• Families often fear that organ donation disfigures the body, preventing proper funeral rites and violating religious traditions.

• The fear that hospital staff might prematurely declare brain death just to harvest organs is a falsehood.

• Organ donation is an act of compassion aligned with spiritual values espoused in all religions.

• Age and health status often lead to misconceptions that only young accident victims can donate organs.

• Addressing these myths requires sustained focus, audio-visual campaigns, community workshops, and education in schools and colleges.

• Health-care professionals must become champions of organ donation, with regular training sessions to initiate compassionate conversations with families of potential donors.

• To bridge the gap between organ supply and demand, India needs a collective national will to bridge the gap.

• A promising policy proposal is presumed consent, adopted in countries like Spain and Croatia.

• Organ donation is not just a medical procedure, but a profound act of charity.

• Every eligible adult must register as a donor, and every family must pledge to respect their decision.

Organ Donation Saves Lives is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
