    Hyderabad: The Union minister of state for Health and Family Welfare, Bharathi Pravin Pawar said that Telangana and Maharashtra were the best-performing states in the country in terms of the number of ‘Deceased Donor Organ Transplantations’ in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

    She said this as a response to a question in Lok Sabha by Vellore MP DM Kathir Anand, where the Union minister also said Tamil Nadu was one of the active states in taking up the programme.

    While underlining the steps taken by the Centre to facilitate the cadaver and live organ transplants for deserving patients in the country, she said the government was taking up several steps to increase awareness of organ donation.

    Steps taken

    • Dissemination of information by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO)
    • Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (ROTTO)
    • State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO)
    • A website and a 24×7 call centre with a toll-free helpline number (1800114770) to provide information.
    • Tele-counselling for help in the coordination of organ donation.

    Telangana government, in order to strengthen infrastructure for conducting organ transplants, has released Rs 35 crore to construct a state-of-the-art multi-organ transplantation centre at Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad.

    Telangana government is also using choppers to transport donated organs of brain-dead patients from district hospitals to teaching hospitals in Hyderabad while pushing for more organ transplant surgeries in government hospitals.
