MILLION LIVES TOUCHED
Manipal Organ Sharing & Transplant (MOST) was set up with the mission to spread knowledge about organ and tissue donation among Indians. Additionally, it strives to encourage hospitals to embrace the best ways to donate organs and tissues, making a positive impact on healthcare.
Approximately three lakh patients are awaiting organ donations nationwide. According to the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation, India's organ donation rate has increased from ‘0.05 per ten lakh population’ to ‘0.8 per ten lakh population’ over the course of a few years, as of 2023, which is still moderately low. To bridge this gap, India must aim for 65 donations per million population, necessitating a significant contribution from the healthcare sector.
Every eight minutes, another person joins the transplant waiting list. And 17 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant.
One deceased organ donor has the potential to save up to eight lives and positively impact up to 75 lives. Yet, it's surprising to learn that out of the few organ donations in the country, a staggering 93% come from living donors, with an astonishing 80% of them being women!
Organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, and intestines can be donated. Additionally, tissues such as corneas, skin, bone, heart valves, and blood vessels can also be donated.
After registering as an organ donor, your decision is documented in a national registry. In the event of your death, medical professionals will consult this registry and your family to determine your eligibility for donation
Yes, you can specify which organs or tissues you wish to donate. Organ donor registries allow you to indicate your preferences during the registration process.
