Hello friends! In conjunction to
my previous post, the follow up of my blog will cover the loopholes about organ
donation.
Trust me…You don’t really require
facts and figures to make a case for organ donation. Just ask yourself that how
many of people in your acquaintances have donated organs of their deceased
relatives and you’ll get the answer in most simple terms. Case studies reveal
that less than 150 people did so in the last year. It won’t be wrong to say
that for a nation that homes more than a million number of people, it’s a
pathetic figure.
One of the recent researches by
scientific experts have stated that India is the diabetes capital of the world.
Every single year, renals-failures patients who necessitate kidney transplant
to live, fail to survive because of lack of organ transplantation donors and
varying from one lakh in 2011, it had swells to three lakh in 2012.
A very similar scenario happens
with lung, pancreas, liver but awareness from our end can save those thousands
of precious lives who dies awaiting for organ transplantation.
When it comes to analysis of statistical
figures, 48% Indians are familiar about kidney transplantation, 26% about liver
transplantation, 13% about heart and unfortunately, 6% about pancreas and 7% about
other organ transplantations. Half of the people do not even know that whether
pancreas or lungs can be transplanted or not, which is truly an upsetting thing
for a nation that homes millions of people.
Though different reformatory
programs and awareness campaigns are conducted by NGOs and government on
frequent intervals, there’s a far way to go and accomplish our mission.
