Organ Donation
- Organ Donation is the process of transplantation of your organs after death to the needy after getting consent from you and your family members.
- The persons who give the organ known as Donor while who receive the organ known as Recipient.
- All of us can be organ donors, irrespective of age, caste, religion,
community, current or past medical condition. Children can also be organ
donors after taking consent for organ donation from their parents.
- Organs can be donated only when the doctors announce the brain dead condition.
- Vital Organs like heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, and pancreas
can be donated only in case of 'brain death'. However other tissues
like corneas, heart valves, skin, bones etc can be donated only in case
of natural death.
- There is common myth that the dead body is not available for funeral after organ donation. But it is not true , all hospitals and doctors carry out the process of donation with care, respect and dignity and dead body is in condition for funeral as it was before donation process
- There are nearly 1 Lac people in the world died due to shortage of organs So I request to register yourself for organ donation. It is up to you where you want to put your organs after death i.e in the dustbin or in giving a life to other individual.
- All of us knew that the God is the one who gives life but by organ donation you are also able to gift a life to someone .
- By donating, each person can save the lives of upto 7 individuals by
way of organ donation and enhance the lives of over 50 people by way of
tissue donation.
