Co-Human being
 Human body is a big factory

 Our bodily systems are
Skeletal system Respiratory system
Muscular system Lymphatic system

 What happened if these system gets
disturbed????????
POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY
LARGE POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY

LIVER CIRRHOSIS
THYROID CANCER
OVARIAN CANCER

 If these systems gets disturbed, what will
be next?

 Treatment

 Medication

 Surgery

 If not – go for “TRANSPLANTATION”

 One person’s tissues can make life better
for as many as 50 people! How?

 Organs from just one individual can help

as many as eight people!! How??

BODY / ORGAN
DONATION
 Body or organ donation is the process of
removing tissues or organs from a live, or
recently dead person (cadaveric donation)
to be used in another.

 The former is the donor and the latter is

the recipient

 People of all ages can become donors

NEED OF THE HOUR

In India
10 Lakhs
need Organ Donation
 Organs and tissue accepted from babies
to senior citizens

 Medical professionals decide whether

organs, tissues and eyes are suitable for
donation at time of death

 Donated organs are transplanted to needy

persons
 ORGANS TO BE DONATED

 Donation before death (live donor)

1. Blood

2. Kidney

3. Liver (1/4)

4. Skin
 Donation after death (cadaver donor)

1. In house – Eyes (cornea) & Skin

2. In hospital – Eyes (cornea), Skin, Bone/

Bone marrow

 From brain dead – Kidney(s); Liver; Heart;

Lung; Intestine; Pancreas – 90% of organ
donation comes from these individuals*

 Cadaver transplantation in India - History
1. 1967 - First successful cadaver Kidney
Transplant in India at KEM Hospital, Bombay
2. 1994 - First successful heart transplant done at
AIIMS, New Delhi
3. 1995 - First successful multi-organ transplant
done at Apollo Hospital, Chennai

5. 1999 – First Pancreas Transplant, Ahemdabad
6. And sooooooo many…….till now
OLIVER (baby name), Arizona (US) baby born premature,
got heart transplantation in January 2015!!!!!!!!!
Kidney Transplant
The most transplanted organ in the world is
Kidney. India ranks second in the number of
Kidney Transplants done worldwide owing to high
technical expertise available.

Liver Transplant
Liver Transplant is a boon for the patient
suffering from chronic liver disease or liver
cirrhosis. Liver Transplant in India is fast gaining
popularity due to the very high success rates and
low costs involved.
Heart Transplant
The fourth most transplanted organ in the
world, heart still holds the most important place in
the minds of people. With a few hospitals
conducting Heart Transplant, India is fast gaining
popularity.
Corneal Transplant

in patients from across the globe for Cornea
Transplant mainly because of relatively easier
procedure, the low cost and a desire to see the
beautiful world around.

Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma. India offers
comprehensive facility for bone marrow transplant
at a cost which almost 1/10th of that is developed
countries

Hair Transplant

WHOLE BODY DONATION TO
MEDICAL FIELD & RESEARCH
 Body donation is the donation of the
whole body after death for medical
research and education.
 Body donation is useful for
understanding the human body and for
advancing science.
 Medical schools use whole embalmed
bodies to teach anatomy to medical
students.
 Any person wishing to donate their body
may be required (but not always), to make
prior arrangements with the local medical
institution, especially Anatomy Department
or body donation program before death.

 Individuals may request a consent form,

and will be supplied information about
policies and procedures that will take place
after the potential donor is deceased.
 Anatomy department accepts dead bodies
to be used for teaching and research
 People donate their body after death must
discuss about their wish with their family,
doctors and other relevant people before
making the decision.

Please inform your family or relevant people that you

wish to be a 'whole body donor' and ensure that they
also understand the procedure of anatomical
donation.
 After the death of the donor, it is the
responsibility of the relatives of the
deceased to inform the medical institution
about the death
 Institute will try to arrange for the
transport of the body. If not possible for
the institute, the family will be requested
to bring the body to the institute, if the
donation is accepted.
 PLEASE note that the donation of the
body may not be accepted, unless it is in
a useful condition for the purpose of
medical education/research.
 Bodies not suitable for body donation –
badly damaged in an accident, post-
mortem bodies and bodies with certain
contagious diseases like active TB,
hepatitis B, AIDS, tetanus, gas gangrene
etc., remain infective during embalming
and/or after death.
 Such bodies are a serious health hazard to
students and staffs handling them
 The body should be sent as early as
possible to the Department.
 Ideally, the body has to reach the
anatomy department within 8-10 hrs after
death, as the process of decomposition
starts immediately after death in the
body.
 Eyes can be donated up to 8 hrs after
death. The other organs cannot be
donated after death.
 Bodies in which postmortem examination
has been performed are not suitable for
teaching anatomy.
 How is the body preserved for teaching
purposes?
The body is chemically treated with
formalin. This is a chemical that fixes the
tissues of the body. This process is called
EMBALMING and it can preserve the body
for years.

DISSECTION
All Doctors studied medicine with
CADAVER dissection only!!
 Other than Donors and family members,
who else helps the BODY/ORGAN
DONATION programme?
Media’s role in organ transplantation
 Ex: NICHOLAS GREEN EFFECT in Italy
1. Nicholas was a 7-year-old American
child, shot dead by bandits in Italy in
1994
2. His parents agreed to donate his organs
3. “Italian press reported it extensively”
4. The positives impact kick started the
Italian cadaver programme
