Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh Face Challenges in Organ Donation Ahead of 2026 Awareness Day
Ahead of World Organ Donation Day 2026, Mumbai faces a critical shortage with nearly 5,000 patients awaiting organ transplants, while only about 10% receive donor support. Authorities urge transplant recipients and families to pledge organs to increase donations. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh has seen a significant rise in body and cornea donations but remains low in organ donation contributions, particularly skin donations, due to misconceptions and lack of awareness despite government efforts to improve protocols and recognition for donors.
