KD Hospital performs seven to eight transplant surgeries each month. However, the number of deceased donor organ donations remains low, with only six to seven occurring yearly.
Those in need of transplants can register for organs anywhere in the country and not just in their state. For remote areas, government working on plan to use drones for delivery.
Data from several hospitals in country shows women biggest organ donors, but less likely to get lifesaving surgeries than men. Gender gap more pronounced in north India, doctors say.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
