Organ transplant is a procedure in
which a healthy organ is surgically implanted into
a patient suffering from end-stage disease of any
organ. It is one of the major achievements of medical
science. The organs & tissues such as heart, lung,
kidney, liver, pancreas, cornea, skin can be successfully
removed from the deceased & grafted in another
individuals for therapeutic purposes.
The success rate of such procedures is now very high
and many lives are being saved with transplants. Even
children can now receive transplants. Following the
transplant, individuals can go back to a normal life.
Through the miracle of transplantation, many of our
friends, neighbors and family are living healthy,
productive lives. However, the need for donated organs
and tissues continues to outpace the supply. Right
now, there are thousands of people who could be helped
if more of us were to become organ and tissue donors.
Organ and tissue donations provide each of us with
a special opportunity to help others.
