This document provides a history of organ transplantation from ancient times to modern developments. It discusses key milestones such as the first successful organ transplants of the kidney, liver, heart, and other organs from the 1950s-1980s. Statistics on organ transplantation in India are presented, noting a need for more organ donations to meet demand. The regulatory framework around organ donation in India including the Transplantation of Human Organs Act and amendments are summarized.
There is a large gap between the number of patients needing organ transplants and the availability of organs in India. Each year, over 1.8 lakh people suffer renal failure but only around 6000 receive kidney transplants. While 25-30 thousand liver transplants are needed annually, only around 1500 are performed. Similarly, only 10-15 of the 50,000 annual heart failure cases receive heart transplants. Increased organ donation could help save many lives but India has an organ donation rate of just 0.05 per 1 lakh population compared to countries like Spain with a rate of 35 per lakh. Efforts are ongoing to promote organ donation awareness and address issues like religious myths, lack of communication and infrastructure challenges.
This document provides information about organ donation. It discusses how organ donation can save lives by helping the over 160,000 patients in need of transplants each year. It notes that many lives are lost due to the scarcity of organs and fear or lack of information about donation. The document outlines the types of organ donation including living donation and deceased donation. It lists the organs and tissues that can be donated, such as kidneys, heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, intestines, skin and bone. It provides statistics on organ donation and transplantation.
This document provides an overview of organ donation, including the definition of organ donation, types of organ donation (live vs. deceased donors), organs that can be donated, laws around organ donation, organizations involved in organ donation, and the process of organ donation and transplantation. Key points covered include that organs from a single donor can benefit many recipients, and that the first organ transplant was a kidney transplant in 1954 between identical twins.
This document discusses organ donation and the Organ Retrieval Bank of India (ORBO). It begins with definitions of organ donation and a brief history of transplantation milestones. It then discusses organ donation statistics in India which highlight a large unmet demand. The document outlines the types of organ donors, organs that can be donated, and screening criteria. It also explains laws around organ donation in India including the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act. Finally, it provides an overview of ORBO including its objectives to facilitate organ allocation and create awareness of donation in India.
Organ donation involves donating biological tissues or organs from living or deceased donors to recipients in need of transplants. While it can save many lives, there is a large shortage of organs available for transplant globally and in India specifically. Effective organ donation programs require addressing issues like lack of public awareness, legal and ethical concerns, and ensuring transparency to prevent exploitation. Models like the one in Tamil Nadu aim to maximize cadaveric organ donation through a centralized allocation system and free transplants to reduce costs as barriers. Kerala has guidelines for organ donation but still faces challenges in identifying brain dead donors, public awareness, funding, and monitoring the program. Increased education and empathy could help address myths and shortages to benefit more patients.
The document discusses organ donation in India, noting that over 500,000 people die each year due to the lack of organ donors. It explains that organ donation can occur from both living and deceased donors, with deceased donation allowing for more organs to be donated depending on whether the donor experienced brain death or cardiac death. The document advocates for more people to pledge to donate their organs after death in order to help save lives.
This document discusses organ donation and transplantation in India. It provides an introduction to organ donation and outlines the need for organ donation due to the large gap between available organs and people in need. It then discusses the history of successful transplants in India, types of transplants, living donor requirements, reasons for the shortage of organ donors, and situations under which organ donation occurs. The document also covers the legal aspects, forms, transplant rejection, immunosuppressive therapy, and the green corridor concept in India.
This document provides an outline on organ transplantation. It begins by defining organ transplantation and the emerging field of regenerative medicine. It then describes the main types of transplants - autograft, allograft, isograft, xenograft, split transplants, and domino transplants. The major organs and tissues transplanted are also outlined. The types of donors for transplants are defined as living donors and deceased donors. Reasons for organ donation include being a living related donor, participating in paired exchange, being a good Samaritan donor, and compensated donation. The document concludes by discussing some of the ethical concerns regarding organ transplantation including sources of organs and distributive justice.

1. India faces a significant shortage of organs for transplant due to low donation rates, though the country has developed transplant capabilities and seen transplants increase in recent years.
2. The gap between patients needing transplants and available organs remains wide, with estimated annual transplant needs far exceeding actual transplants for kidneys, livers, hearts, and other organs.
3. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act of 1994 and its amendments established a legal framework for organ donation and transplantation in India, but deceased organ donation rates continue to be low due to various challenges.
1. India faces a large shortage of organs for transplant due to low donation rates. While many people could potentially donate organs after death, very few actually do.
2. The number of transplants performed in India has increased in recent years, but there remains a huge gap between patients needing transplants and available organs. Various amendments to the organ transplant laws aim to increase deceased organ donation.
3. The National Organ Transplant Programme aims to improve access to life-saving transplants through promoting deceased organ donation, training medical professionals, and protecting vulnerable groups from organ trafficking. It established organizations like NOTTO to coordinate transplant activities nationwide.
This document provides an overview of organ transplantation and some key points are:
1. Organ transplantation involves replacing a damaged or failing organ with a healthy donor organ. The most commonly transplanted organs are kidneys, liver, and heart.
2. There are several types of transplants including autographs within one's own body, allografts from genetically non-identical members, isografts from an identical twin, and xenografts between species.
3. Donors can be living donors who donate renewable tissues or parts of organs, or deceased donors who are brain dead but have organs maintained by life support until transplantation. The major organs and tissues transplanted are described.
Organ transplant involves surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person (donor) and placing it in another person (recipient). Common transplanted organs include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, and pancreas. Countries have systems to manage organ allocation and reduce transplant rejection. The Philippines first performed transplants in 1990 and now has transplant programs, though demand still exceeds available organs. Ethical debates surround issues like living donation, organ markets, and accusations of forced donation from non-consenting groups.
The document provides an overview of organ transplantation including a brief history, the transplant process, sources of donor organs, and issues around organ distribution and shortages. It discusses how transplantable organs are matched with recipients, current policies for distributing scarce organs, and ethical questions around living vs. cadaveric donation. Legal and social issues related to transplantation are also mentioned.
This document summarizes the key points of an initiative to increase organ donation rates in India. It discusses establishing a state transplant organization for Haryana, developing a culture of organ pledging through education, designating more hospitals as organ retrieval centers, and sensitizing police to help expedite the organ donation process. The goal is to convert 1% of brain deaths and 1% of the eligible population to organ donors each year.
contains details about what organs can be donated,who and how it can be done,policies and rules in about organ donation in india, what are the myths about donating organs, how many people are in need of organs(some statistics) and some private organizations working towards encouraging organ donation
The document discusses organ donation from several perspectives. It begins by defining organ donation and transplantation, noting that organs can be donated from living or deceased donors. It then discusses xenotransplantation, or using animal organs for human transplantation, which could increase supply but faces ethical and medical challenges. The document outlines the organ donation process, including evaluation, allocation, procurement, and controversy around donation after cardiac death. It notes the significant organ shortage globally and long wait times for organs. Factors like presumed consent laws versus opt-in laws impact donation rates between countries.
Organ transplantation has greatly improved over the last two decades and can save lives by improving quality of life for those with terminal organ failure. Kidneys are the most commonly transplanted organ worldwide. There are several types of transplants including autografts, allografts, isografts, xenografts, and split or domino transplants. Major organs transplanted include heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and more. Living donors and deceased donors are the main donor types. Proper allocation and preventing rejection are important for successful transplants. Transplantation has a long history and continues to help many but demand still outpaces availability of donor organs.

Organ transplantation involves transplanting organs from one body to another to replace damaged or failing organs. There are several types of transplants including autografts, allografts, isografts, xenografts, split transplants, and domino transplants. Major organs and tissues that can be transplanted include the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and skin. Organs can come from both living and deceased donors. Immunosuppressive drugs help prevent transplant rejection but have side effects. India faces an organ shortage as thousands die each year waiting for transplants due to low organ donation rates.
The document discusses acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. It describes AML as a difficult disease to treat when chemotherapy is not working and bone marrow transplant matches cannot be found. The summary emphasizes that new treatments are urgently needed for AML patients who do not respond to standard therapies.
Role of nurse in organ donation, retrievel and banking RakhiYadav53
Nurses play a vital role in organ donation, from facilitating potential donors to supporting families. They begin by identifying potential donors and managing their care until donation. Nurses guide families through the difficult process, obtain consent, and initiate the donor protocol according to hospital policy. After retrieval, organs are preserved and transported to recipients. Nurses coordinate multiple teams and care for donors and recipients through all stages of donation and transplantation. Their role is critical in this complex process.
Human Organ Transplantation Act In Bangladesh And Cadaveric CME.pptxshovon2026
This document discusses organ transplantation in Bangladesh, including:
- The Human Organ Transplantation Act of 1999 allows organ donations from living and brain-dead donors, and was amended in 2018.
- Currently, kidney, cornea, liver, and bone marrow transplants are performed, but the ultimate goal is to start cadaveric organ transplantation.
- Living donor transplants can only involve close relatives, while brain-dead donors' organs can be donated to recipients. Strict guidelines oversee the declaration of brain death and organ recovery process.
- Expanding cadaveric donation and increasing transplant infrastructure and capacity across Bangladesh are recommended to help the thousands currently dying while waiting for transplants.
An organ transplant involves surgically removing a failing or damaged organ and replacing it with a healthy donor organ. The solid organs that can be transplanted include the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines. For a transplant to occur, a matching donor organ must be found either from a deceased donor or a living donor. If the donor organ is from a deceased person it is called a cadaveric organ. Living donors can donate a kidney or part of an organ like a lobe of the lung or portion of the liver. For organ donation from deceased donors to be ethical, consent from family members is required. While organ sales raise ethical issues, recycling organs from deceased donors can benefit the living provided all ethical and legal

Organ donation involves removing organs from a deceased donor and transplanting them into recipients whose organs have failed. Major organs that can be donated include the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and pancreas. Other tissues like corneas and skin can also be donated. There is a high need for organ donors as over 100,000 people in the US need transplants but only around 30,000 receive them each year. Becoming a donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and restore sight to 2 people through cornea donation. However, myths and misconceptions about the organ donation process often prevent people from registering.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

4. Organ donation and transplantation history
continues to be made, from the more recent
full-face transplant to tissue and eye
transplants more than 100 years ago.
The idea of transferring body parts appears in
ancient mythology of civilizations around the
world. Roman, Greek, Indian, Chinese, and
Egyptian legends include tales of organ
transplants performed by gods and healers
using organs from cadaveric and animal
origins.
5. The first written mention of transplant is
attributed to the Ebers Papyrus, written
circa 1550 BC, which mentioned skin
grafting for the treatment of burns.1
Around 600 BC, the Indian surgeon
Sushruta, known as the father of surgery,
is credited with performing the first plastic
surgery operations, including full-thickness
skin grafts.
6. The first successful corneal allograft transplant
was performed in 1837 in a gazelle model; the first
successful human corneal transplant,
a keratoplastic operation, was performed
by Eduard Zirm at Olomouc Eye Clinic, now in the
Czech Republic, in 1905.
The first transplant in the modern sense – the
implantation of organ tissue in order to replace an
organ function – was a thyroid transplant in 1883.
It was performed by the Swiss surgeon and
later Nobel laureate Theodor Kocher.
7. The beginning
In 1954, the kidney was the first human
organ to be transplanted successfully.
Liver, heart and pancreas transplants were
successfully performed by the late 1960s,
while lung and intestinal organ transplant
procedures were begun in the 1980s.
10. 1983-First successful single-lung transplant
performed.
Cyclosporine, the first of a number of drugs
that effectively treat organ rejection by
suppressing the human immune system,
introduced.
1986-First successful double-lung transplant
performed.
1987-First successful intestinal transplant
performed.
12. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act,
1994
The main purpose of the Act is to regulate
the removal, storage and transplantation of
human organs for therapeutic purposes
and to prevent commercial dealings in
human organs.
13. The Act contains detailed provisions
relating to the authority for removal of
human organs, preservation of human
organs, regulation of hospitals conducting
the removal, storage or transplantation of
human organs, functions of appropriate
authority, registration of hospitals and
punishment/penalties for offences relating
to aforesaid matters.
14. Transplantation of Human Organs
(Amendment) Act, 2011
that allows swapping of organs and widens
the donor pool by including grandparents
and grandchildren in the list.
15. Provision of ‘Retrieval Centres’ for retrieval of organs from deceased
donors and their registration under the amended Act.
Definition of near relative expanded to include grandparents and
grandchildren.
Brain death certification Board has been simplified and more experts
have been permitted for this certification.
‘Mandatory’ inquiry and informing option to donate in case of
unfortunate event of brain stem death of ICU patient for the purpose
of organ donation.
Mandatory ‘Transplant Coordinator’ for coordinating all matters
relating to removal or transplantation of human organs.
National Human Organs and Tissues Removal and Storage Network
at one or more places and regional network.
National Registry of Donors and Recipients.
Removal of eye has been permitted by a trained technician to
facilitate eye donation.
17. India ranks third in the world only behind USA and
China as per the data available on the Global
Observatory on Donation and
Transplantation (GODT) website.
The total number of organ transplants done per
year in the country has increased from 4990 in the
year 2013 to 12,746 in the year 2019. Similarly, the
organ donation rate has increased to about four
times as compared to 2012-13.
As per estimates, only 0.65 organ donations per
million population take place in the country.
18.
19. In India there is a growing need of Organ and tissue
transplant due to large number of organ failure. As
there is no organized data available for the required
organs, the numbers is only estimates. Every year,
following number of persons needs organ/tissue
transplant as per organ specified:
Kidney-2,50,000
Liver-80,000
Heart-50,000
Cornea-1,00,000
As per the 2019 data of the All Institute of Medical
Sciences- Kidney-4000, Liver 1800, Heart-1000,
Cornea-25000
20. There are only three percent registered organ
donors in India.
There has been a considerable decline in organ
donation in India as well as the entire world due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main reason behind such less organ donation
is the lack of knowledge among people regarding
the process of organ transplant.
NGOs and public organizations are trying to
spread awareness.
21. An organ is a part of the body that
performs a specific function: like your
Heart, Lungs, Kidney, Liver etc.
22.
23. The tissues that can be donated are:
Cornea, Bone, Skin, Heart Valve, blood
vessels, nerves and tendon etc.
24. Organ Donation is the gift of an organ to a
person with end stage organ disease and
who needs a transplant.
25. There are two types of organ donation:-
i)Living Donor Organ Donation: A person during his life can
donate one kidney (the other kidney is capable of maintaining
the body functions adequately for the donor), a portion of
pancreas (half of the pancreas is adequate for sustaining
pancreatic functions) and a part of the liver (the segments of
liver will regenerate after a period of time in both recipient and
donor).
ii)Deceased Donor Organ Donation: A person can donate
multiple organ and tissues after (brain-stem/cardiac) death.
His/her organcontinues to live in another personӳ body..
26. ge limit for Organ Donation varies, depending upon whether it is
living donation or cadaver donation; for example in living donation,
person should be above 18 year of age, and for most of the organs
deciding factor is the personӳ physical condition and not the age.
Specialist healthcare professionals decide which organs are suitable
case to case. Organs and tissue from people in their 70s and 80s
have been transplanted successfully all over the world. In the case of
tissues and eyes, age usually does not matter.A deceased donor can
generally donate the Organs & Tissues with the age limit of:
Kidneys, liver:up-to 70 years
Heart, lungs:up-to 50 years
Pancreas, Intestine: up-to 60-65 years
Corneas, skin: up-to 100 years
Heart valves: up-to 50 years
Bone: up-to 70 years
27. Means a person during his life can donate
one kidney (one kidney is capable for
maintaining the body functions), a portion
of pancreas (half of the pancreas is
adequate for sustaining pancreatic
functions) and a part of the liver (the
segments of liver will regenerate after a
period of time).
28. Yes, but not all organs and tissues, only few organs can be
donated during life. The most common organ donated by a
living person is a kidney as a healthy person can lead a
completely normal life with only one functional kidney. Kidneys
transplanted from living donors have a better chance of long-
term survival than those transplanted from deceased donor.
Nearly 90% of all kidney transplants currently in India are from
living donor.
In addition to kidney, part of a liver can be transplanted and it
may also be possible to donate a segment of a lung and, in a
very small number of cases, part of the small bowel. For all
forms of living donor transplants the risk to the donor must be
considered very carefully. Before a living donor transplant can
go ahead there are strict regulations to meet and a thorough
process of assessment and discussion.
29. Living Near Related Donors: Only immediate blood relations are accepted
usually as donors viz., parents, siblings, children, grandparents and grand
children (THOA Rules 2014). Spouse is also accepted as a living donor in
the category of near relative and is permitted to be a donor.
Living Non- near relative Donors: are other than near relative of recipient or
patient. They can donate only for the reason of affection and attachment
towards the recipient or for any other special reason.
SWAP Donors: In those cases where the living near-relative donor is
incompatible with the recipient, provision for swapping of donors between
two such pairs exists, when donor of first pair matches with the second
recipient and donor of second pair matches with the first recipient This is
permissible only for near relatives as donors.
30. Yes, there is some age-limit for living organ
donation. Living donation should be done
after 18 year of age.
31. Living Donor: Any person not less than 18 years of age, who
voluntarily authorizes the removal of any of his organ and/or
tissue, during his or her lifetime, as per prevalent medical
practices for therapeutic purposes.
Deceased Donor: Anyone, regardless of age, race or gender
can become an organ and tissue donor after his or her Death
(Brainstem/Cardiac). Consent of near relative or a person in
lawful possession of the dead body is required. If the
deceased donor is under the age of 18 years, then the
consent required from one of the parent or any near relative
authorized by the parents is essential. Medical suitability for
donation is determined at the time of death.
32. Yes, in most circumstances you can be a donor. Having a
medical condition does not necessarily prevent a person from
becoming an organ or tissue donor. The decision about
whether some or all organs or tissue are suitable for transplant
is made by a healthcare professional, taking into account your
medical history.
In very rare cases, the organs of donors with HIV or hepatitis-
C have been used to help others with the same conditions.
This is only ever carried out when both parties have the
condition. All donors have rigorous checks to guard against
infection.
Are donors screened to identify if they have a transmissible
disease?
33. The Oxford Dictionary defines 'Cadaver' as
'a dead human body'. Medically a
'Cadaver' is a corpse used for dissection
and study. In the area of Organ
Transplantation, 'cadaver' refers to a brain-
dead body with a beating heart, on life
support system.
34. A person can donate multiple organ and tissues after brain-stem
death. His/her organ continues to live in another personӳ body.
If different organs and tissues are in medically fit conditions,
following organs and tissues can be donated:
Organs
Tissues
Two kidneys
Two corneas
Liver
Skin
Heart
Heart valves
Two lungs
Cartilage / Ligaments
Intestine
Bones /Tendons
Pancreas
Vessels
35. Brain stem death is cessation of function of the brain stem due to
irreversible damage. It is an irreversible condition and the person
has died. It is also called Brain Death in India.
A brain stem dead person cannot breathe on his own; however the
heart has an inbuilt mechanism for pumping as long as it has a
supply of oxygen and blood. A ventilator continues to blow air into
lungs of brain stem dead persons, their heart continues to receive
oxygenated blood and medicine may be given to maintain their blood
pressure. The heart will continue to beat for a period of time after
brain stem death - this does not mean that the person is alive, or that
there is any chance of recovery.
The declaration of brain stem death is made with accepted medical
standards. The parameters emphasize the 3 clinical findings
necessary to confirm irreversible cessation of all functions of the
entire brain, including the brain stem: coma (loss of consciousness)
with a known cause, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea
(absence of spontaneous breathing). These tests are carried out
twice at the interval of at-least 6-12 hours by the team of Medical
Experts. Brain-stem Death is accepted under the Transplant Human
Organ Act since 1994.
36. Yes, As per the Transplantation of Human Organs Act
1994 Brain Stem Death is legally accepted as death.
As per THOA Board of Medical Experts Consist of
following will certify Brain-stem Death:
1. Doctor in charge of the hospital (medical
superintendent)
2. Doctor nominated from a panel of Doctors appointed
by the Appropriate Authority
3. Neurologist/neurosurgeon/intensivist nominated
from a panel appointed by the Appropriate Authority.
4. Doctor treating the patient.
The panel of four doctors carries out the tests together
to certify brain death.
37. If the family is willing to donate organs of
the potential donor, how can they proceed
for more information in terms of brain-stem
dead?
The family can approach the counselor of
the hospital, the transplant coordinator or
the doctors and nursing staff of the ICU.
38.
39. Your vital organs will be transplanted into those
individuals who need them most urgently. Gifts of
life (Organs) are matched to recipients on the
basis of medical suitability, urgency of transplant,
duration on the waiting list and geographical
location.
NOTTO and its state units (ROTTO & SOTTO) will
work round the clock, every day of the year and
cover the whole of the country. Tissue is very
occasionally matched, e.g. for size and tissue type,
but otherwise is freely available to any patient in
need of a transplant.
40. A person legally in possession of the
deceased person can sign the consent form.
This is usually done by a parent, spouse,
son/daughter or brother/sister.
By signing a consent form the family says that
they do not have any objection to the removal
of organs from the body of their loved one. It
is a legal document. This form is kept with the
hospital.
41. Even though your family refuses for organ donation,
the treatment will be carried out as per the clinical
condition. Organ donation process is never linked with
your appropriate treatment.
These two are separate entities. A completely different
team work, for donation. Also, doctors involved in
transplant operation are never involved in the donation
process from the family of potential donor.
It is Health professional’s duty to save life of patient
first. Despite of all efforts, if the patient dies, organ and
tissue donation can then be considered and a
completely different team of retrieval and transplant
specialists would be called in.
42. No. It can only be removed when a person is
declared as brain stem dead in the hospital and is
immediately put on a ventilator and other life
support systems. After death at home, only eyes
and some tissues can be removed.
There is no additional charge to family of potential
organ donor. Potential donor needs to be medically
maintained in ICU till the time of donation. From
the time family agrees to donate organs and
tissue, all charges are borne by the treating
hospital and donor family is not charged any
further.
43. In most situations, families agree of donation if
they knew that was their loved oneӳ wish. If the
family, or those closest to the person who has
died, object to the donation when the person who
has died has given their explicit permission, either
by telling relatives, close friends or clinical staff, or
by carrying a donor card or registering their wishes
on the NOTTO website, healthcare professionals
will discuss the matter sensitively with them. They
will be encouraged to accept the dead personӳ
wishes. However, if families still object, then
donation process will not go further and donation
will not materialize.
44. No. The removal of organs or tissues will not
interfere with customary funeral or burial
arrangements. The appearance of the body is not
altered.
A highly skilled surgical transplant team removes
the organs and tissues which can be transplanted
in other patients. Surgeons stitch he body carefully,
hence no disfigurement occurs. The body can be
viewed as in any case of death and funeral
arrangements need not be delayed.
45. Organ donation for therapeutic purposes is covered under the
Transplantation of Human Organs Act (THOA 1994).Whole body
donation is covered by the Anatomy Act 1984.
Organ and Tissue donation is defined as the act of giving life to
others after death by donating his/her organs to the needy suffering
from end stage organ failure.
Body donation is defined as the act of giving oneӳ body after death
for medical research and education. Those donated cadavers remain
a principal teaching tool for anatomists and medical educators
teaching gross anatomy.
Bodies are not accepted for teaching purposes if organs have been
donated or if there has been a post-mortem examination. However, if
only the corneas are to be donated, a body can be left for research.
46. Transplantation is the act of surgical removal of an organ from one person and placing it
into another person. Transplantation is needed when the recipient's organ has failed or has
been damaged due to illness or injury.
Here are some end stage diseases which can be cured by the transplantation:
Diseases
Organs
heart failure
Heart
terminal lung illnesses
Lungs
kidney failure
Kidneys
liver failure
Liver
Diabetes
Pancreas
Corneal Blindness
Eyes
Heart Valvular disease
Heart valve
severe burns
Skin
47. The network of organ donation, collection
and replacement through the State Organ
and Tissue Transplant Organization
(SOTTOs) at State-Level, Regional Organ
and Tissue Transplant Organization
(ROTTOs) at Regional Level and National
Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization
(NOTTO) at National Level.
48. The Regional cum State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation
(ROTTO-SOTTO), West and Maharashtra has been established by
the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, at
KEM Hospital, Parel, Mumbai since 2017. This networking agency
has been mandated and defined in the amended Transplantation of
Human Organs and Tissues Act of 1994 [Section 13-C], and the
Rules of 2014 [Rule 31 (4) (12)].
ROTTO-SOTTO, Mumbai works under the ages of NOTTO and is
responsible for the monitoring and surveillance of organ transplant
activities in Maharashtra State and the other states in the Western
Region like Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and union
territory of Diu and Daman. It also maintains transplant registries and
conducts promotional activities for spreading awareness about organ
donation.
49. The national registry for organ donation & transplant is as follows:-
I - Organ Transplant Registry:
The Organ Transplant Registry shall include demographic data about the patient waiting for transplant (Organ / hospital wise waiting list), donor (Living Donor including
Related Donor, Other than Near Related Donor, Swap Donors and Deceased Donor), hospitals, follow up details of recipient and donor etc., and the data shall be collected
from all retrieval and transplant centers.
Data collection may preferably be through a web-based interface or paper submission and the information shall be maintained both specific organ wise and also in a
consolidated formats.
The hospital or Institution shall update its website regularly in respect of the total number of the transplantations done in that hospital or institution along with reasonable detail
of each transplant and the same data should be accessible for compilation, analysis and further use by authorised persons of respective State Governments and Central
Government.
II - Organ Donation Registry:
The Organ Donation Registry shall include demographic information of donor (both living and deceased), hospital, height and weight, occupation, primary cause of death in
case of deceased donor, associated medical illnesses, relevant laboratory tests, donor maintenance details, driving license or any other document of pledging donation,
donation requested by whom, transplant coordinator, organs or tissue retrieved, outcome of donated organ or tissue, details of recipient, etc.
III - Tissue Registry:
The Tissue Registry shall include demographic information on the tissue donor, site of tissue retrieval or donation, primary cause of death in case of deceased donor, donor
maintenance details in case of brain stem dead donor, associated medical illnesses, relevant laboratory tests, driving license or any other document pledging donation,
donation requested by whom, identity of counsellors, tissue(s) or organ(s) retrieved, demographic data about the tissue recipient, hospital conducting transplantation,
transplant waiting list and priority list for critical patients, if these exist, indication(s) for transplant, outcome of transplanted tissue, etc.
IV - Organ Donor Pledge Registry:
The National Organ Donor Register is a computerized database which records the wishes of people who have pledged for organ and tissue donation. Person during their life
can pledge to donate their organ(s) or tissue(s) after their death through Form 7 and submit it in paper or online to the respective networking organization and pledger has the
option to withdraw the pledge through intimation.
There are many hospitals and organizations those are also maintaining the list of persons who have pledged organ donation with them, will be passed to National Organ &
Tissue Transplant Organisation for National Register.

55. Yes, it will be helpful for the health
professionals and your family.
56. No, if you have already pledged with one
Organisation & received a Donor Card,
you need not register with any other
organisation.
57. Donation of an organ or tissue provides an
unparalleled opportunity to give someone
a second chance of life. Your donation is
not only giving impact to the life of one
person or family, but it is of overall help for
the society as a whole.
58. Yes, you can unpledge by making a call to
the NOTTO office or write or visit NOTTO
website www.notto.nic.in and avail of the
un-pledge option by logging into your
account. Also, let your family know that
you have changed your mind regarding
organ donation pledge.
59. No, none of our major religions object to
donate organs and tissues, rather they all
are promoting and supporting this noble
cause. If you have any doubts, you may
discuss with your spiritual or religious
leader or advisor.
