Every year on the 13th of August, India commemorates Organ Donation Day. Organ donation is the practice of harvesting a person\u2019s organs after he or she has died in order to transplant them into another person. The individual who donates the organs is referred to as a donor, while the person who receives the organ is referred to as a receiver. A single brain-dead donor can save the lives of up to eight people with end-stage organ failure. Donations have an impact on more than just the donors and beneficiaries. It also affects the loved ones, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances of persons in need of transplantation, as well as those who profit from their new life and improved health after the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organ Donors in India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

India continues to have one of the lowest rates of organ donation in the world. Organ donation rates in India are extremely low, at roughly 0.3 per million, compared to as high as 36 per million in some Western countries and over 26 per million in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organ donation aids in the transplantation process, which often results in a second shot at life. The heart, pancreas, liver, kidneys, and lungs are among the vital organs that can be transplanted to patients whose organs are failing. It permits many people to resume their daily lives. For others, a cornea or tissue transplant means the ability to see well again, as well as increased mobility and pain relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that millions of people have signed up to be organ donors, only a small percentage of donors die in a way that allows for organ donation. Here are a few more details about the organ donation procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donation usually begins with your consent to be a donor, which is expressed by registering your name in a national registry and alerting your family. This is the first step toward perhaps saving lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing for Death in the Brain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctors will run a series of tests to see if the patient is reacting to therapy and stimulation, to see if brain death has happened. A brain-dead patient has no brain activity and is unable to breathe on his or her own. Death of the brain is dead, and it is irrevocable. Only brain-dead patients are eligible to be organ donors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donation Authorization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical authorities look to see if the death has been registered as a donor on their database. In India, agreement from the family is required for organ donation, and the family has the final say.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of matching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical suitability of the organ for transplant is determined by healthcare specialists. To help match an organ to a potential recipient for transplant, a number of tests on various criteria are performed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the Organs Back<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgeons link the organ to a machine that maintains it working artificially after it is removed. The organs are removed with extreme caution by doctors. The majority of organs have a finite lifespan, as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
