Donating one’s organs is a very personal decision. Educating yourself and family members is the first step in making the right decision for you.

It is great that people have now started believing in organ donation. We then and now see families await a lifesaving organ. We do however, hope to dispel any uneasiness a person may have on the subject and help everyone make an informed decision. If we can help educate just one person, this article will have served its purpose.

Statistics

These numbers change on a daily basis.

  • 112,706 are currently waiting for the gift of life, including children.
  • 23,747 transplants were performed in 2011.
  • 90,564 people are awaiting a blood cleansing kidney.
  • 16,067 people are waiting for a new liver.
  • 3,113 people are waiting to hear the beat of their new heart.
  • 1,677 are waiting to take a breath of fresh air with new lungs.
  • 18 people die each day while waiting for the gift of life.

If you want to be a donor

Signing your organ donor card is not enough. Let your family and friends know you wish to donate. Before procurement is done, family members are required to sign a consent form. If they don't know, your wish will never be carried out. 

Living Donation

You can donate now. Living donation is often done between family members. For example, a sister needs a lifesaving kidney. Her brother has two and gives one to his sister. The Centre for Liver and Biliary Sciences (CLBS) at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket is one of the largest liver transplant hospital in India and as well as world. It has now a cumulative experience of over 2500 liver transplant operations in India and Abroad. It has also excelled in live liver transplant in India and Abroad.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
