Introducing Glom India’s Patient Awareness Program:

We as Glom India have been largely focusing on educating any and everything related to Nephrology. With the Patient Awareness Program (PAP), we focus on the education and affiliation of patients with maximum possible activities. Under this offering of ours, we focus on the below activities majorly:

    • Organ Donation
    • Educational Lectures
    • Blog writing activities

Organ Donation:

With our Organ Donation Campaign, we aim to create the highest level of awareness, intend to enroll a huge number of donors which can help our nation improve the numbers related to organ donation. With an aggressive support and awareness push, we intend to save as many lives as possible. Glom India has always been active in any and everything related to Nephrology and intends to be an active player across India when it comes to Organ Donation.

The idea is pretty simple and message is quite clear with one question that we ask: “If you needed an organ transplant, would you have one?” If so, please help those in need of a transplant by opting to donate organs and tissue.

MYTH & FACTS

Click on each Myths to bust into a fact.

Myth: I have a medical condition, so I can't be a donor.

Fact
Anyone, regardless of age or medical history, can sign up to be a donor.

The transplant team will determine at an individual’s time of death whether donation is possible. There are very few conditions that would prevent a person from becoming a donor—such as HIV infection, active cancer, or a systemic infection. You should still consider registering. Even with an illness, you may be able to donate your organs or tissues.

Myth: I'm too old to be a donor.

Fact
There’s no age limit to organ donation. To date, the oldest donor in a Scottish woman whose corneas were donated after her death in 2016(Source: Wikipedia). What matters is the health and condition of your organs when you die.

Myth: If they see I'm a donor at the hospital, they won't try to save my life.

Fact
When you are sick or injured and admitted to a hospital, the one and only priority is to save your life; donation doesn’t become a possibility until all lifesaving methods have failed.

Myth: My family won't be able to have a funeral if I'm a donor.

Fact
A funeral is possible for organ donors. Through the entire donation process, the body is treated with care, respect, and dignity.

Myth: My family will have to pay for the donation.

Fact
There is no cost to donors or their families for organ or tissue donation.

Myth: If I'm in a coma, they could take my organs.

Fact
The majority of deceased organ donors are patients who have been declared brain dead. But brain death is NOT the same as coma. People can recover from comas, but not from brain death. Brain death is final.

What can be donated with our help?

Deceased organ donors can donate: kidneys (2), liver, lungs (2), heart, pancreas, and intestines. In 2014, hands and faces were added to the organ transplant list.

By registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor, you can also leave behind the gift of sight.
