  5. Satellite Organ retrieval control center (more than 50 bedded hospital) in Gurgaon and NCR are being identified for the ready retrieval of the organ from the brain death patient by the retrieval team. Negotiation and identification are in process.

  6. Obesity has been declared by the World Organization as a TSUNAMI, nearby 70% to 80% of the school going children of the public schools are morbid obese. This leads to deposition of fat in the lever (NASH). This deposition ranges from grade I to IV and eventually lead to Cirrhosis of the liver requiring transplant in the advance stage of NASH. Organathon Foundation has taken this as a challenge and targeted around 25 schools in the region and their Teachers/Principal are being accordingly negotiated/educated and logistic support has been dully provided to them.

  7. Incentives

• Public salutations & awards to the deceased persons who donated their organs (posthumously).
• Family of Organ Donor shall be given priority in the waiting list, should they ever need organ transplantation in the future.
• We should undertake measures to reduce the incidence of organ failures (Multidisciplinary) approach (Health & Social aspect). At the same time to ensure that no such patient dies for want of an organ. Specially to target childhood obesity (NASH) - A preventive aspect.

  8. Suggestions

• Develop a culture of Pledging Organs for donations.
• Structured education in school & college students about organ transplantation and pledging of organs. A chapter on organ transplantation should be included in the text books at different levels.
• Non Organ Transplant Retrieval Centers (NOTRC): Any hospital with > 50 beds and a working OT & an ICU should be declared NOTRC-OF Suggestion & for implementation -- Protocol & SOPs will be developed.
• Brain death declaration to be done as per protocol. Retrieval of organs may be done by the local team or by the team from the transplant Hospital. Transplant coordinators and grief counsellors should professionally handle the situation.
• In MLC cases, the police needs to be sensitized to speed up the inquest proceedings, once the family has agreed for organ donation. Police should also facilitate the post mortem (may be performed in the same hospital where death has occurred) & handover of the body respectfully.
• While transferring a body from one State to another for the performance of last rites, NOC is required from the hospital & the police. This may be issued promptly.
