Organ donation is a profound act of compassion that has the power to save and enhance countless lives. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, in India, our need for organ transplants is immense. It has emerged as a critical way of bridging the gap between the demand and availability of organs for transplantation.
The Government of India is finally waking up to the dire need of organ transplantation in the country, with just over 15,000 transplant surgeries carried out last year. Nearly 3.27 lakh registered recipients are on the waiting list. Last month, the Centre announced some changes in its policy in order to make organ transplant surgeries easy.
A workshop on Strengthening of Organ Donation and Transplantation Process was held at the Conference Hall of Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) Porompat on Saturday. The workshop was organized by JNIMS in association with Multi Organ Harvesting Aid Network (MOHAN) Foundation, India.
