Organ donation is an act of kindness. It is a step towards saving thousands of lives. Every year, millions of people die due to organ failures. Numerous health-related issues emerge due to poor lifestyles, accidents, or old age.
Whatever the reason, sometimes it becomes necessary for the patient to go for an organ transplant. But, finding the organ donor during the time of need becomes of utmost importance. There are cases where the patient fails to get a matching organ or an organ donor, thus falling prey to organ failure.
Hence, organ donation has become the need of the hour to eradicate organ scarcity in the country. So, to spread awareness regarding the crucial matter, the Institute of Public Health and Hygiene, Jammu, organized an Organ donation program.
The program was conducted on 16th February 2023 in collaboration with State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization, SOTTO, Jammu and Kashmir. The program was born on 16th February 2023 in partnership with State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization, SOTTO, Jammu and Kashmir.

State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization, SOTTO, is a state-level organ donation organisation from the Department of Health and Family Welfare. It looks after organ donation, harvesting, and transplantation at the state level.
