 What is organ donation? Organ donation is a process in which an individual allows his organs to be donated. It is removed and transplanted to another individual legally by giving a consent when he is alive or dead wherein the consent is given by his nearest kin. Organ donation awareness is much better these days when compared to many years ago. On this organ donation day an important message that we would like to convey to the lay people is that kidney donation is a very important aspect of kidney transplantation wherein a friend, a relative or a loved one donates an organ to the person who's suffering from kidney disease and this completely changes the life of the person who's suffering from disease. When both the kidneys have failed for him to live it will be only through dialysis wherein he has to spend a whole lot of his time going through this dialysis but if that person has to get kidney transplantation done he can lead a normal life. An important thing to know is that kidney organ donation is very safe it is nowadays done with very advanced techniques in our hospital where when we remove the kidney using minimally invasive surgery which involves a very short hospital stay for the kidney donor and the donor can quickly get back to a normal life and resume their normal activities and live a completely normal life in the long run. I think it is important for us all to pledge that we should be ready to donate one kidney for our loved ones, our near and dear ones because it's going to make a big difference in the lives of people and at knowing at the same time that we will be able to live completely normal lives ourselves. More and more people have to come forward to donate their organs and make a will before their death. Let us join hands in this organ donation awareness and save many more lives.
