Hello Everyone,
Please read it twice and then think about it.
Its all about "Organ Donation", to save lives.
A brief about Organ Donation in India-
Almost 1.5 lakh people in India need a kidney; however, only 3000 of them receive one.
Only 1 out of 30 people, who need a kidney receive one.
90% of people on the waiting list die without getting an organ.
India’s annual liver transplant requirement is 25,000, but we manage only about 800.
70% liver transplants are taken care of by a live donor, but 30% are dependent on cadaver donations.

Why Donate?
Each year, thousands of people die while waiting for a transplant, because no suitable donor can be found for them. The need for organ donors has never been greater.
Did you know In India every year nearly:
● 500,000 people die because of non-availability of organs
●200,000 people die of liver disease
● 50,000 people die from heart disease
● 150,000 people await a kidney transplant but only 5,000 get one
● 1,000,000 lakh people suffer from corneal blindness and await transplant
Nationally, with a population of 1.2 billion people, the statistic stands at 0.08 persons as organ donors per million population (PMP). This is an incredibly small and insignificant number compared to the statistics around the world.
I understand it is difficult to think about organ donation when you have just lost a loved one; However, organ donation is a generous and worthwhile decision that can save many lives. By donating, each person can save the lives of up to 8 individuals by way of organ donation and enhance the lives of over 50 people by way of tissue donation.
