Organ donor families and transplant recipients in Telangana are seeking greater financial support, with private hospitals earning substantial revenues from transplantation. Activists have urged the State government to provide assistance to donor families and long-term support to economically weaker recipients.
PIB Hyderabad organised a Varta media workshop on organ donation, highlighting common myths and medical facts. Experts stressed the importance of donor families, public awareness and voluntary pledges, while NOTTO’s Jug Jug Jiyo campaign seeks to encourage organ donation.
Due to availability of highly advanced heart, kidney and lung failure ECMO systems, trained staff, dedicated nursing, dietary, physiotherapy and rehab services, the outcomes of transplants have improved, Dr Pavan Gorukanti, Director, Yashoda Hospitals said.
