The Organ Donation Congress held in Delhi in 2010 was aimed at reaching the people. The day is celebrated by the National Organ Tissue Transplant Organization in India. August 13 is World Organ Donation Day.
With the advancement of modern medicine, life-saving devices have been developed to replace many diseased parts of the body. Although they can be transplanted into kidneys, liver, heart, and skin, they are not as popular as blood and eye donation for many reasons. If the liver and kidney can be separated from the living, then the heart and pancreas can only be transplanted from the brain dead.
Let's bring it back to life, five million people
It is estimated that five million people can be brought back to life in India alone if organs were made available and transplanted. More than one and a half million people are also waiting for an organ donor for kidney transplants. But even 5,000 of them cannot get a kidney transplant because they do not have a donor. The number of patients with heart and liver problems is increasing day by day.
The demand for organ donors is now higher than in India. Although a good portion of the organs of brain-dead people is useful to such people, they are ruined due to the intricacies of the law and the lack of awareness of relatives. In the event of your relative's brain death, organ donation will bring many people back to life, not just one or two.
It is certainly very difficult to imagine what happens in our body after death, and organ donation can therefore seem difficult. But the decision to become an organ donor is very rewarding and valuable.
Everyone can donate their organs after death. However, people who have cancer, HIV, or other life-threatening diseases (such as sepsis) or who have received certain medications through the veins may not participate in organ donation. Organ donation can be made to people suffering from Hepatitis C and people with the same disease. This also applies to people with hepatitis B. Most cancer patients can donate their corneas.
How to become an organ donor?
For those who receive organs, this is the return of life. Patients can return to normal life after organ transplantation with damage to vital organs such as the heart, pancreas, liver, kidneys, and lungs.
In such a situation, each of us can decide to become an organ donor. Instead of donating organs while alive, now decide that in the event of brain death, all body parts that can be shared without waiting can be shared with those who come back to life Can. Explain and celebrate close relatives and friends. We recognize that parts of the body that can be ruined after death have the value of many lives.
In the case of brain death, organs can be donated only with the permission of the family. Therefore, in addition to becoming an organ donor, do not hesitate to donate your organs to your relatives in the event of brain death. Maybe your loved ones can help bring that heart, liver, or kidney back to life.
Organ donation occurs when a person's own organ is legally removed or donated to another person either by consent, while the donor becomes alive or dead.
