In Rajasthan, only 84 deceased organ donations have occurred between 2015 and the present, while over a thousand patients are critically awaiting transplants.
Rajasthan has witnessed a starkly low number of deceased organ donations over the past decade. Since 2015, a total of only 84 cadaver donations have been recorded in the state.
This limited supply of donated organs means that a significant number of patients are left waiting for life-saving transplants. Currently, more than 1,000 individuals in Rajasthan are on the transplant waiting list, facing an uncertain future.
Experts and health officials point to a lack of public awareness and persistent misconceptions surrounding organ donation as the primary obstacles hindering an increase in donation rates. Addressing these issues is crucial to improve the organ donation scenario in the state.
