Organ Donation

Gift of Organ is a Gift of Life

Organ Donation Day
Ā 
Ā 
Organ Donation is the biggest contribution to humanity. It not only saves lives but also touches & changes the other lives associated with the one who receives the organ. Usually brain dead patients are most suitable for organ donation and if harvested within the critical time, a person can donate and save up to 5 lives. Anybody can donate organ irrespective of cast, religion and medical conditions. However, persons suffering from cancer, HIV, active infection or Intravenous drug user can’t be a donor.
Ā 
Vital organs like heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys and lungs can be donated only if the patient is brain dead. However, other tissues like cornea, heart valves, skin, and bones can be donated in case of natural death. Organ donation can enhance the lives of about 50 others by way of tissue donation. Some Ā Ā states have authorized committees to co-ordinate organ donation. In Karnataka state, ZCCK (Zonal Coordination Committee of Karnataka) coordinates the cadaveric transplantation activities and creates awareness on organ transplant.
Ā 
In fact, organ donation is the greatest gift post death, and one can still brighten the lives long after one ceases to exist on this earth. Some time back people in India were very unwilling to donate because of the myths, cultural upbringing, misconceptions and certain religious beliefs. However, with growing awareness and the proactive actions by ZCCK, hospitals and citizens, now more and more people are coming forward, crossing the mental barriers regarding organ transplants and hospitals are noticing a dramatic changes in organ availability.
Ā 
In the past few days, in different incidents across Bengaluru city, a couple of cadaveric donations have happened which saved at least 10 lives. 4 heart transplants have been performed at Narayana Health City, while the other cadaveric organs were distributed across hospitals in Bengaluru which included liver, kidneys, cornea etc.
Ā
