Across the country, the state health departments have been taking serious initiatives to help increase cadaveric donations. To boost the cadaver donation programme in the city, the civic
body has decided to frame a policy for civic run hospital over cadaveric organ donation. The corporation has plans to launch a massive drive in colleges and wards to create awareness on the
importance of this donation. “Everybody knows there is drastic need of cadaveric organs because of the huge waiting list. The only other option is removing the organs from brain dead
patients for which we require an expert committee to help identify brain death and who will be responsible for retrieving the organs. Also we will try to appoint a dedicated co-ordinator who
will deal with patient relatives and encourage them to donate the organs,” said Dr Suhasini Nagda, director, major civic hospitals. Nagda added, “There is need strong awareness among the
people because of the misconceptions around cadaveric organ donation. We are due to launch a drive and tie-up with ZTCC across Mumbai in wards and colleges to raise awareness. Across the
country, the state health departments have been taking serious initiatives to help increase cadaveric donations. Patients waiting for organs, mainly liver and kidney, usually have to depend
on the registry maintained by Zonal Transplantation Co-ordination Committee (ZTCC). According to the ZTCC official, “Sometimes in two months, we don’t get a single cadaver organ. But at
times, in a month, we get two. There are over 2,000 people in the waiting list for a kidney. People should come ahead and donate organs because it can give someone a new and better life.”
