Jeevandan is the state government’s initiative to boost the organ donation and transplantation in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Dr.N.T.R University of Health Sciences acts as the Appropriate Authority for Cadaver Transplantation. Dr.T.Ravi Raju, Vice Chancellor of N.T.R University is the Chairman of Jeevandan. After its commencement, it came up with streamlined procedures to ensure that the most deserving patient receives the organ. Fifty successful organ donations were completed by Jeevandan Andhra Pradesh. The state has been doing quite well in deceased organ donation for the past few years. According to Jeevandan, Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a total number of 80 organ donations from January to July 2017.
India lags far behind in organ donation rates when compared to other countries like Spain where the organ donation rate is 36 per million population (pmp) as against 0.8 pmp in India. The main reason behind this is the lack of awareness among the people. When celebrities support this noble cause, it becomes easier to reach more people.
