Organ Donation

Save the life of some one after your life………

Introduction

In India the awareness on organ donation is very less

but the need of organ is very much higher.

It is estimated that in India every year over 100,000

people are diagnosed to have kidney failure and

would be needing a transplantation.

Due to non-availability of organs only about 2,500

kidney transplants are done.

The same thing happens for eye and other organ

donations as well.

What is organ donation?

Organ donation is the gift of an organ

to help someone else who needs a

transplant.

Hundreds of people’s lives are saved

each year by the organ donors.

Organs can be donated after death

Organs that can be donated after death

kidneys, liver, pancreas
