We can make a difference....Let's help this noble cause. Dr. Aparna Patil.

        "कुछ मीठी सी ठंडक है,

         आज इन हवाओं में...

         शायद, किसी के अवयवदान से....

         किसी को नयी जिंदगी मिल गई|"

Organ donation saves lives.We want to spread this simple message to every Indian. There are lakhs of people who die every year due to chronic illnesses of liver, kidney , heart; who could have been with us today if they had a viable organ available for a transplant.

Human body has great fortitude for receiving organs from other human. This unique ability gives us an opportunity to give  a second chance of life in case of organ failure. Unfortunately organs are not easily available.More than 5000 patients are waiting for healthy kidney; more than 1000 patients are waiting for liver... Demand is more & Supply is less.

But this can change. We, as a medical fraternity can bring about the change through efforts to raise awareness & by pledging our organs.

Personally I feel that.... organ donation should not be a new concept to people. From school age, this awareness must be inculcated in the young minds. Each Indian should be aware of organ donation so that authorities dealing with organ donation and transplantation can carry out this entire process very smoothly ,  during an emotionally traumatic situations.

We all have a life song...upbeat in times of celebration & mellow in times of sadness. It changes & evolves throughout our life & concludes when one reach grand finale. But we can create remix...giving new hope, enabling someone else's melody.

In Hindi films, we see many remixes. Just for an example, a song from movie "तेजाब",

" एक, दो, तीन, चार, पाँच, छे, सात, आठ, नौ....."

created a history, marking the overnight stardom of Madhuri Dikshit. A great hit of all times. We all always enjoy this song.Then, again this song was picturised on Jacqueline Fernandez in film  "Baaghi 2" which also gives us pleasure.

Can you create remix....giving new hope, enabling someone else's melody ?

Would you help?

 Share your song, share your life , share your life song.

Yes, organ donation makes that possible !

Let's pledge our organs! 

Let's help in spreading awareness in whichever way you can !!!
