Why donating organs is not about insulting the dead Dr Sujit Chatterjee Hiranandani Hospital

The death of the brain stem is not well understood. It is important to spread knowledge about the laws governing organ donation and transplantation. Most of the time, family refusal indicates a lack of knowledge, which justifies community-level interventions. According to Dr. Sujit Chatterjee, CEO of Hiranandani Hospital, Powai, signing a "Family Donor Card" and spreading the word to young people can have a positive impact on their decisions regarding organ donation.

With diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and now metabolic syndrome, the prevalence of non-communicable diseases is increasing in India. These are silent killers because they frequently show no symptoms and are frequently disregarded. If left unchecked, they cause organ failure and dysfunction. The kidney, liver, and heart are the commonly involved organs. The lungs are also affected by some breathing disorders (interstitial lung disease). Even in the case of organ failure, modern medicine has treatments to extend life. For instance, dialysis does help people with kidney failure live longer, and medical treatment for cirrhosis patients may also, but only as a temporary fix. A transplant is a true solution.
