Transplants- Help the Poor Foundation_Organ Transplantation Challenges in India and How Transplants-

MUMBAI, India - April 29, 2022 - PRLog -- The magnitude of the disparity between organ donations and patients requiring them is evident through data that estimates that about 5 lakh people lose their lives every year awaiting organ transplants, while according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), only 0.01% of people donate their organs after death in India.

Despite medical advancements, the state of organ transplants in India faces critical challenges. These factors are all predominant contributors to decreasing the organ-to-patient ratio, which include:

• The massive gap in organ donations and the number of performed transplants
• Lack of awareness
• Scarcity of trained transplant coordinators

Amongst these pressing and major obstacles comes another serious impediment- finance. Even the socioeconomically well-off patients need to bear the hospital, post-surgery and life-long medication expenses. In addition to this, only some hospitals have the necessary infrastructure to conduct these transplant procedures.

Only those who can afford these costly procedures have access to this life-saving option. This results in affecting particularly the low-income or disadvantaged groups who face the negative consequences and effects of the unaffordable transplantation of tissues and organs, suggesting that the poor do not have the option of receiving organ transplants.

Transplants- Help the Poor Foundation- an organ transplant foundation in India has endeavoured to provide the poor with the successful transplantation of tissues and organs to mitigate these critical challenges. With a focus on raising awareness of organ scarcity in India, the foundation engages with other stakeholders in the field to make organ donation known to the public through channels such as education and media.

The founders of Transplants- Help the Poor Foundation are five esteemed Mumbaikars: C. Y. Pal, Gul Kripalani, Dr Darius F. Mirza and Sabira Merchant are dedicated to providing ease to the underprivileged against the financial burden of organ transplants in India.
