• The rate of organ donations has increased in India over
the last few years thanks to increased awareness and
government's efforts to ease procedures. However,
experts say lack of technology, infrastructure to
transfer organs and the enormous cost of
transplantation and postsurgery care continue to play
spoilsport.Organ donation rate in India after brain
death increased from 0.05 per million population in
2006 to 0.34 per million population in 2014, estimates
by Mohan Foundation, a not for profit organiza tion
that coordinates organ donation and transplantations
activities in India.

• In 2014, there were 411 organ donors after brain death.This
resulted in the transplantation of 720 kidneys, 354 livers, 54 hearts
and 16 lungs.
• Doctors say while transplantation of liver and kidney are easier,
organs like heart and lung are very difficult mainly because of the
time limitation. For instance, in case of heart, the organ has to be
transplanted within four hours of taking it out.
• “Organs cannot be stored.Therefore, there is a need for
preparedness and equipment to be able to transplant with out
losing time,“ says Dr Avnish Seth, director, Fortis Organ Retrieval &
Transplant.According to Dr Seth, even as there is more awareness
about organ transplant now, in 2014 around 50 donors were lost
across the country because of problems like time lag, lack of
equipment, unpreparedness etc.

• Experts say it is time to move on to donation after
circulatory death (DCD), where organs are retrieved for the
purposes of transplantation after death is confirmed using
circulatory criteria. However, the challenge includes how to
identify patients as suitable potential DCD donors, how to
support and maintain the trust of bereaved families etc.
• Doctors also point out challenges in terms of a countrywide
data base. “There is a need for a central database which
can indicate the demand and supply without a time lag,“
says Dr Kewal Krishan, senior consultant cardiovascular
surgery , Max Hospital. According to Dr Krishan, there is a
sheer dearth of infrastructure and logistics for transferring
an organ from one spot to another.
