Why Should Families Talk About Organ Donation?

In India, the family's consent is needed before organs can be donated after death, even if the person had pledged. In this video, Dr. Yogesh Gaur, Consultant in Nephrology and Kidney Transplant in Varanasi, explains why families should talk about organ donation before it is ever needed.

When relatives already know what their loved one wanted, a difficult moment in hospital becomes a clear decision instead of a painful guess. Many donations do not happen simply because the family was never told.

Watch the video, then have the conversation at home. Pledge to be an organ donor, tell your family about your decision, and ask them about theirs. One conversation today could save up to eight lives tomorrow.
