title: Organ donation: victory after death.
abstract: Despite the Transplantation of Human Organ Act passed in Indian Parliament in 1994, cadaver liver and/or kidney transplant are infrequently performed (in a few private hospitals) in our country compared to living donor liver or kidney transplant. The need for performing more cadaver liver and/or kidney transplants in private and public hospitals is obvious. Immediate measures which should be taken to facilitate more cadaver organ transplant both in private and public hospitals are suggested. Organ donation is for an individual or a family an invaluable opportunity, to register victory after death.
