India has among the poorest organ donation rates in the world. Our organ donation rate is just 0.50 per million which means that we have just one donor for every 2 million people. When it comes to heart transplants, the numbers are even more dismal. According to NOTTO, the apex government body regulating organ transplants, every year about 50,000 people are added to the waitlist for a heart transplant. Donating the organs of a loved one is never an easy decision. However, as these 5 inspiring stories show us, it is one of the most noble acts to gift life to someone else.
