    What is cadaver donation?

    What is cadaver donation?
    Credits:
  • An organ can be taken from a person who has been declared brain dead i.e. the brain stem has been permanently damaged.

    The brain stem is responsible for consciousness and breathing.

    However, the organs of the person continue to function for a few hours with the help of life-supporting systems.

    During this short period, organs are recovered after consent and transplanted to other individuals.

    Brain dead in ICU

    Issues in cadaver donation
    Credits:
  • According to experts, cadaver donation is still in its nascent stages in India because of lack of awareness and indifferent attitude of hospitals.

    Many times, hospitals which are authorized to harvest organs from a brain dead person do not notify the patient or recipient despite it being compulsory.

    In Mumbai, 12 people are waiting for a heart, 150 for livers and 2600 for kidneys.

    Planned provisions of the policy
  • Under the policy, the Maharashtra government will appoint a nodal officer to address issues related to the 'Green Corridor'.

    FM radio channels will be used to disseminate advance information about Green corridors in cities.

    Use of special stickers, sirens and lamps are also being mulled for ambulances transporting harvested organs.

    The policy will also reduce the average transportation cost of organs.
