Rajasthan's Organ Transplant Gap: Awards vs. Reality

Rajasthan has been recognized with national awards in 2025 for organ donation and public awareness efforts. However, this acclaim starkly contrasts with the state's limited progress in transplant outcomes. Since February 5, 2015, Rajasthan has documented 81 cadaveric organ donations, yielding 286 organs and tissues. These donations have facilitated 150 kidney transplants, 70 liver transplants, 35 heart transplants, nine lung transplants, and corneas for 18 patients.
