India and organ donation
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Organ donation is defined as donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body, from a living or dead person within specified time limit , to a living recipient in need of a transplantation. Indian government in 1994 introduced law "The Transplantation of Human Organs Act" really brought significant changes in the organ donation and transplantation scene in India. Corneal donation programme is having good success. Despite such law there have been stray instances of organ trade in India. Tamil Nadu is the leader in deceased organ donation in the country. This is possible due to combined effect of both government and private hospitals, NGOs and the State Health department. Currently more than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant, yet there is a shortage of donors. Over the years people all over the world have stopped registering to be organ donors.
