Save Life After Life: The Noble Act of Organ Donation

Brig Mini Mathai, Capt Nimisha Sheji

Abstract: Organ donation is a noble act that offers the opportunity to save lives after death by donating organs for transplantation. Despite advancements in medical technology, India faces a significant shortfall in organ donations, particularly deceased donations, resulting in long waiting lists and numerous deaths daily. Studies highlight the increasing rates of organ donations in tertiary care hospitals and the importance of expanding donor pools through better management and awareness. Legal frameworks and amendments have been established to regulate and encourage organ donation while addressing challenges such as public mistrust, medical compatibility, and logistical issues. To bridge the gap between organ demand and supply, extensive public awareness and improved infrastructure are essential.
