Organ Donation: Delhi AIIMS Director calls for positive attitude within society

The event brought together donor families, transplant recipients and attendees, acknowledging the immense impact of their selfless contributions in saving numerous lives, even amidst their own grief.

ORBO is marking “Indian Organ Donation Day” by organising an awareness week from July 28 to August 3.

The week featured an array of programmes, including a training session for critical care nurses on organ and tissue donation.

A national-level short-film competition was also held.

“Organ retrieval to transplantation is a complex and extensive process, requiring seamless coordination and teamwork among various stakeholders, including donor families, transplant coordinators, physicians, transplant teams, support staff, forensic departments, blood banks, and laboratories,” Dr Aarti Vij of the ORBO said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Cardiothoracic and Neurosciences Centre of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) organised the first-ever Transplant Games to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation in treating heart failure.
