Organ Donation awareness day celebrations

6th of August is celebrated as “Organ Donation Day” to increase awareness of organ donation. For some people who are sick due to insufficient functioning of organs like heart, lungs, liver, kidneys or eyes, the only option is changing that organ(transplantation). The best source for such organs is from brain-dead patients. However due to lack of awareness among public and professionals about organ donation, organs are not being donated. On 6th, events were conducted all over India to raise this awareness. http://thehansindia.com/posts/index/2013-08-06/Awareness-of-organ-donation-will-boost-inflow-68628
