On the occasion of National Organ Donation Day, Health Minister Harish Rao emphasised the need for greater awareness and participation in organ donation, saying that 126 organ donations have been registered so far this year. Despite this progress, approximately 3,000 individuals are actively seeking to prolong life through organ transplants, underscoring the need for continued efforts.
At a programme at Ravindra Bharathi on Thursday, a total of 105 families were felicitated by the Minister for donating organs and giving a new lease of life to people. The Minister expressed admiration for the courage and compassion displayed by the families - who, despite their own grief, chose to save lives through organ donation. He acknowledged them as a source of inspiration for many and commended their commitment to social responsibility during challenging times.
