Organ donation can bring hope and relief to those affected by chronic illness or complications. Choosing to donate organs can inspire others to follow suit and create a ripple effect that leads to more lives being saved. To mark National Organ Donation Day, Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital For Children has unveils “The Wall Of Honor” followed by a series of activities to accelerate organ donation.
Organ donation is a life-altering act. It is essential to spread awareness about the importance of organ donation after death. Cadaveric donation is also the need of the hour. In India, 15 lives are lost every day for the want of an organ. Shockingly, Maharashtra is lagging behind when it comes to organ donation than other states. There have been only 20 cadaveric organ donations in the state this year, although millions of patients are on the waiting list. To address this pressing issue, it is essential to increase awareness about organ donation. Wadia Hospital has come forward to encourage people to donate organs by undertaking a great initiative.
Organ donation is a selfless act that can save lives and bring hope to those in desperate need. Every day, countless people are waiting for organ transplants that could potentially give them a second chance at life. One donor can donate different organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and pancreas. For many patients suffering from end-stage organ failure or chronic diseases like kidney or liver disease, an organ transplant may be their only hope for survival. One of the key factors contributing to the organ donation gap is a lack of public understanding and misconceptions surrounding the process. The demand for organs far exceeds the supply, leading to prolonged waiting lists and devastating consequences for those in need. It is crucial that we dispel these myths through education campaigns that highlight accurate information about organ donationby Transplant Team.
“We conducted a program including a series of engaging and informative sessions to make everyone understand the importance of organ donation. The interactive panel discussion, video presentations, and testimonials from transplant recipients and their families highlighted how organ donation is life-saving. Myths surrounding this subject were dispelled by experts. “The Wall Of Honor” was unveiled to boost the organ donation drive. The courageous families who donated the organs of their children were felicitated during the event. A journey of the transplant program will be showcased during the event.
Wadia Hospital is well-equipped with a state-of-the-art liver and kidney transplant department and with its expertise, we have performed 6 successful transplants in a very short time span and the organ transplant registry is open to needy patients. The aim is to inspire people to embrace this noble cause. Hospital staff and doctors/guests pledged to donate organs and transform lives,” concluded Dr Minnie Bodhanwala, CEO of Wadia Hospital.
