How are the donated organs distributed? Dr. Aparna Patil.

Many questions may arise in your mind like....

If I want to donate my organs, how the organs are distributed?

Whether they will be given to some rich person or to a person of specific religion ???

Friends.... please note that 

Many factors like ,

Age of patient 

Blood group 

Severity of the disease 

Waiting period 

Clinical status of the recipient

are taken into consideration. The priority score is given to the patient & then the organs are given to the most needy & suitable patients. 

Money , race , religion, status are not  considered. Everything is absolutely transparent.

In India, The Human Organ Transplantation Act, passed in 1994 mainly takes into consideration following fields...

1) It recognises brain stem death.

2) It regulates retrieval , storage & transplantation of organs.

3) It prevents commercial dealings in Human Organs.

" No Human organ can be bought or sold."

All religions in India have  considered it as a noble act. It is a pure donation. No compensation or payments are made to the donor family. The family is not charged for any investigations after the consent for organ donation is given.

Friends...

" Realise that nothing can give more happiness than a selfless act done for others !!! "

Today, Organ donation is a need of  the hour. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness,it is very limited.
