 Every year, 13th of August is designated as organ donation day. On this day, we acknowledge the noble deeds of persons and their family who donate organs. Also, on this day, we create awareness among the public at large about organ donation. The gift of life is the best gift one can give it to another human being. People have heard about kidney transplantation and Dr. Murphy did it in the year 1955. Or Dr. Starzill started his liver transplantation program in the year 1960. Ever since, the other avenues of the transplantations have virtually moved up, including the heart as well as the lungs. But none of the patients have been aware about the fact that the face and the hands also can be given to the needy patients who require transplantation. On this day of organ donation day, I would like to bring awareness about hand transplantation in our society. Hand transplantation is basically done for those victims who have lost both their hands due to some accident, due to some infection or some other catastrophe like a war injury which has caused them to lose both their hands either below the elbow or above the elbow. We at Manipal Hospital have got recognition and the government permission to perform hand transplant in our hospital. So, I would request you all to spread awareness amongst all your friends and colleagues that yes, we have the capability and we have the facility and the skillset to perform hand transplantation. Who can donate hands? Any person who is unfortunately brain dead because of either accidents or because of some other reason can donate their hands. Manipal Hospital Bangalore is recognized for multi-organ transplant and we at Department of Plastic Surgery offer hand transplant services. I have pledged my organs for donation. It would be a great service to those people who have lost their hands and together we will be able to transform their lives.
