Dr. Anil Kumar, head of NOTTO, praises PM Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ for revolutionizing organ donation awareness in India. The 131st episode’s real-life transplant triumphs are set to inspire millions, bridging the critical gap between need and availability.
By featuring the Kerala parents who donated their 10-month-old’s organs to save four strangers, PM Modi delivered a compelling call to action. Dr. Kumar says such emotional anchors dissolve fears and myths, revealing organ donation as a beacon of mercy.
Consider the Delhi woman whose heart transplant turned despair into adventure—she trekked sacred sites and nurtures her family today. Or the young man, once tethered to oxygen cylinders, now a twice-conqueror of high-altitude Nathu La.
These stories prove transplants don’t just heal; they empower extraordinary comebacks. Dr. Kumar appeals: Donate post-death to let organs live on, unbound by societal prejudices. PM’s public engagement vision could nationalize this humanitarian drive.
A sophisticated digital ecosystem unites all stakeholders for efficient, fair organ allocation. NOTTO’s national helm, regional outposts, and state units, bolstered by healthcare and civic partners, form an unstoppable awareness machine.
India craves organs, yet donations dwindle. A single donor yields life-saving bounty: dual kidneys, liver, heart, pair of lungs, pancreas, intestines for eight souls; corneas, skin, bones for quality-of-life boosts. Pledge online swiftly or dial the helpline—inform your family, as their nod seals it.
Bolstered by the PM, NOTTO targets rural heartlands, aiming to multiply success stories through prompt interventions.
