Indian Postal Dept Releases Special Day Cover on Organ Donor Week
Organ and tissue Transplantation is now accepted method of treatment for end organ failure be it kidneys, liver, heart, lungs or pancreas transplants or transplant of tissues like corneas, bone, skin, face. Organ donation as we know is possible when one is naturally dead, or suffers from brain death or a living person can donate some organs like a kidney, part of liver or bone-marrow or if not anything else donate blood.
If a patient is declared brain dead due to bleeding within the confined spaces of the brain almost the whole body can be recycled by the act of organ donation. Approx. 1% of hospital deaths are due to brain death and these are special 1% patients as far as organ donation is concerned. Most of these deaths are very traumatic due to road traffic accidents of a young person and the only possible positive outcome of this wasted death is the act of organ donation. This concept is still new in our country. After brain death a number of organs and tissues can be donated and used. In one cadaver donation from abroad almost 43 people were helped with donation of not only kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, intestines but also tissues such as corneas, hand, toes, arteries, vein, cartilage, skin and bones.
