Organ Donation and Transplantation in India

Organ Donation is a process of taking healthy organs and tissues from one person for the need of transplantation in another. By the donation of organs a person can save life of as many as 50 persons. Most organ and tissue donations occur after the donor has died. But some organs and tissues can be donated while the donor is alive.

The organ donation is means we are saving a person’s life or giving him a second chance to live. With irrespective of age, caste, religion, community, current or past medical condition, we all can be an organ donor. Children’s can also donate their organs but they need concern from their parents. 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.

In India we are celebrating 13 August as the Organ Donation Day by which we can receive the message for all the peoples about importance of Organ Donation and be a part in saving others life.
