There are lakhs of patients waiting for organ transplant in the country. Government should view the problem seriously. It would be an important step in health and family welfare if government set up a task force to study the problems of organ shortage in the country. Organ theft has forced the government to take the extreme steps in formulating laws that restrict organ transplants from unrelated donors.
The remedy has actually become as cruel as the problem. The laws and machinery that has been created for controlling organ transplant has severly reduced organ supply and has been affecting the hapless patients waiting for transplant. Thousands of patients die for want of organs like kidney. Government is doing absolutely nothing at present to address the problems of patients who can be saved through organ transplant
Government should remove the defects and shortcomings in the present organ transplant regulations to enable improved availablity of organs for the patients.
Remember, need for organ can happen to anybody.We should be aware of the dangers of not addressing the problem.
