• 2.A descriptive cross sectional study done among 100 participants in Thrissur,
kerala state. Overall 97% of study participants knew something about organ
donation and 97% of people expressed support for organ donation. This study
highlights the significance of increasing public knowledge to remove barriers and
disbeliefs that keep people from volunteering for organ donation.(Neetu Jose,

Review Of Literature:
• 3. A cross sectional study was done in a population of 225 patients attending the
OPD of a primary health center Kannur district of north Kerala . Study found that
69.3% had positive attitude towards organ donation, amongst which 16.1% had
expressed strong motivation to donate irrespective of the circumstances.
• 64% considered the possibility of misappropriation of their donated organs. 94%
of respondents would authorize consent of donation of a diseased person organ to
either his/her family or spouse.

willingness to donate.(Nisanth Prabhakaran, Nishitha et al.,2021)
