There isn't a nobler deed than pledging to donate organs...
Over 1.5 lakh people in India need a kidney but only about 3,000 receive one. 90% of those on kidney waiting list die without getting one. India’s annual liver transplant requirement is over 25,000 but just about 800 manage to get a donated liver. The story is the same in respect of other organs. Basic awareness about organ donation exists among people but refusals continue to be high due to religious and cultural beliefs. To know more about organ
donations, please get in touch with any organisation listed under 'Whom You Can Contact?' section. Practically everyone can donate organs, except for those suffering from cancer, HIV, infection and the intravenous drug users. Those who pledge for organ donation will be issued a ‘Donor Card’. Even though family's consent is needed after death, giving a pledge makes the person's intent known to family members. Alternately, even if there is no 'Donor Card' the family on their own can decide to donate organs.
Conditions under which various organs can be harvested...
Bone Marrow, Kidney (one), portion of Liver, portion of Lung and portion of Pancreas can be donated by a living person. Living person can donate only to a family member or to a person emotionally connected to the organ donor such as a relative, friend, neighbour etc.
Kidneys (two), heart, liver, lungs, pancreas and small intestine are the main organs that can be donated after brain death. This form of donation, also known as ‘cadaver donation’, is possible only if death occurs in hospital. Brain death occurs when brain stem is irreparably damaged due to trauma from accidents, falls, crush injuries;
thrombotic or hemorrhagic stroke etc. There will be no consciousness or breathing. By constant supply of blood and oxygen, the heart can be made to function for a maximum of 36 to 72 hours during which time organ harvesting has to take place.
Eyes (Corneas), Heart Valves and Skin are the main tissues that can be donated after cardiac death. This is the only possibility when a person dies at home. Cardiac death occurs when heart has stopped beating and no longer pumps blood. After cardiac death, only tissues can be donated for transplantation within 4 to 6 hours.
