Santhi Organ Donation
 
 
The successful implementation of organ donation hinges on the education of the masses and having more trained transplant co-ordinators. What is needed is a proactive attitude towards cadaveric organ donation, counselling for relatives for organ donation in the event of brain death, adequate hospital infrastructure, matching and distribution of the organs and co-ordination amongst hospitals. The Indian society, mired in traditional beliefs, is not very amenable to the idea of cadaver organ transplants, as they want the last rites to be performed without any damage to the bodies at all. What they fail to realise is that in a country with a long waiting list for transplants, they are spoiling the chance of somebody to lead a normal life for, say another few years, just because they want to consign the whole body to flames.
The government could make it compulsory to donate organs of brain dead patients so that the wastage of organs, and thereby shortage, is solved. One brain dead patient can help seven patients in critical stages to lead normal lives. According to cardio-thoracic surgeons the heart of a cadaver can be kept alive for five hours and can even be flown from one city to another if needs be and transplanted. Cadaver organ donation ennobles the dead through the living.
