Life after death: 327 life-saving procedures done in Telangana through Organ transplants

The Hindu  

Anil was on the list of recipients for organ transplant in Hyderabad as his kidneys had failed. But in a nation of 130 crore people, the organ donation rate is only 0.25 per million which means that not more than 2,000-2,500 organs are available for transplant from deceased donors. As per the data maintained by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation, 15,561 organ transplants took place in the country in the calendar year 2022. Fast forward to 2022, the numbers soared to 194 brain dead donors and 530 cadaver organ transplantations, a testament to the programme’s increasing impact. The cumulative tally since its inception in 2013 has now reached an awe-inspiring 1283 brain dead donors and 3515 cadaver organ transplants.
