One Organ Donor, Eight Lives: Creating a Lasting Legacy Across Generations

• Organ donation offers renewal and a lasting legacy, impacting multiple lives and generations.
• India performed a record 18,900 organ transplants in 2024, ranking third globally, with kidney transplants accounting for 85-90%.
• Despite progress, a significant gap remains between the increasing demand for organs and their availability.
• A single donor can save up to eight lives and improve many more through tissue donation, restoring vital functions and enabling recipients to live active lives.
• Increasing donor registration, public awareness, and family conversations are crucial to bridge the demand-supply gap and honor donor wishes.
