MP Vinod Tawde Urges Strengthening of Skin Donation and Banking Systems
During the Parliament Monsoon Session, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Vinod Tawde urged the government to enhance skin donation and banking systems to aid burn injury treatment. He highlighted that skin donation, covered under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, involves removing only the outer skin layer without visible disfigurement and can be done within six hours of death. Tawde called for improved infrastructure, public awareness, and a national network for skin retrieval and storage to increase access and improve patient outcomes.
