Organ Donation Day is observed every year on the 13th of August. The aim of this day is to motivate normal human beings to pledge to donate organs after death and to spread awareness about the importance of organ donation. According to a survey In India, every year about 500,000 people die because of the non-availability of organs. Moreover, 180,000 people await a kidney transplant but only 6,000 get among them. Why does India have a shortage of organ donations, and how do we overcome it?
