Jiyo Aur Jeevan Do:
Transforming Lives through Awareness on Organ Donation
Organ donation is an act of selfless compassion that has the power to save and transform lives. In this fast-paced world, countless individuals suffer from organ failure and await a second chance at life. Organ donation is a noble endeavor that allows individuals to give the ultimate gift—the gift of life—to those in need. By donating organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and others, a single person can potentially save multiple lives. ‘Jiyo Aur Jeevan Do’ recognizes the immense impact of organ donation and works tirelessly to promote its significance.
The concept of Organ Donation is yet to percolate down to the general masses and many myths occupy our minds.
Organ Donation is a process where vital organs of a critically ill patient or accident victim, whose brain is still working but the chances of survival become bleak, are harvested and transplanted to the patients requiring such organs. Thus, such act of Donation gives life to many patients.
Various Body Parts, viz. Eyes, Heart, Kidney, Liver, Pancreas, Skin, etc. can be harvested by the Doctors and transplanted.
Many a times, Organ Donation and Body Donation are treated as same due to lack of proper information. Body Donation is a different concept altogether where the Full Body is donated for use of Research and Study purposes, in the cases of normal deaths too.
The role of the family members and relatives is of prime importance both for Organ Donation as well as Body Donation, as the concerned person shall not be in a position to take the decision for donation, himself.
As such, lot of work has to be done to create awareness about this and we have been promoting and canvassing for registration for Organ Donation.
