Busting the Myths Around Organ Donation

Myths are one of the biggest reasons families in India say no to organ donation. In this short video, Dr. Alok Kumar Pandey takes on the common misconceptions people hold about donating organs and explains what actually happens.

Many people worry that pledging means doctors will try less hard to save them, that donation goes against their religion, or that age or illness rules them out. These fears stop many willing donors from ever signing up, even though one donor can save up to eight lives.

Watch the video to separate fact from fiction, then share it with your family. Talking about your wishes early makes the decision easier for the people you love, and pledging is free and takes only a few minutes.
