Organ failure has been one of the leading causes of morbidities, with many needy patients losing their lives because of the lack of organ availability. One organ donation drive can save eight to 10 lives, by donating hearts, kidneys, pancreas, lungs, livers, intestines, hands, faces, tissues, bone marrow and stem cells.
To spread awareness and increase the number of people volunteering to donate their organs after death, World Organ Donation Day is observed on August 13 every year.
