Every year in India, nearly 5 lakh people suffering from organ failure die due to unavailability of organs. India has only 0.08 organ donors per million population (PMP) which is a significantly low number as compared to the need and demand of the country as large as ours. This grim figure is indicative of our nonchalance coupled with lack of awareness about organ donation.
