The gift that has been given to us says much about our capacity for great compassion andgenerosity”,  These words  send an inspiring message to others about the importance of organ donation.

Organ donation takes place when an  organ of a person’s body is removed with his consent while he is alive or with the consent of his family member after his death ‘

 

Kidney , liver , lungs ,   heart , bones ,  intestines and skin are transplanted to give  new life to the receiver .


Donors are of two types, living donors and decreased donors.

 

Living donors  need to undergo medical tests before organ donation. This also includes psychological evaluation of the donorto ensure whether he/she understands the consequences of donation and truly consents for it.

 

In case if the donors is dead, the verification of death is usually done multiple times. It is then determined if any of his / her organs can be donated.

 

After dead, the body is kept on a mechanical ventilator to ensure the organs work.

 

Mostly organ donation is done after death.In India 2,00,000 people are waiting for kidney but the fact is  that only 6,000 of them have got it.

 

Many people are aware of  itbut a small step of organ donation which can be done after  one’s death is not taken seriously. It is not just a matter to give your body’s organ but it is for sure  giving back life itself. What a feeling if it could happen  by you , me  and we .

 

The demand for organs is considerably higher than the donors around the world. Each year several patients die waiting for donors.The need to be sensitized among the public to increase the number of donors should be the first step .  Though the government has taken certain steps to reach the commoner, but until every body readily agrees for it , many patients may die for the want of organ to survive.  Give a life , after your life.
