India's Organ Transplant System Fails to Support Patients

Imagine you need a new heart.

You get it, which saves your life!

But in India, getting the heart is only the beginning.

Many patients struggle to get follow-up care like checkups and medicine because the government's health insurance doesn't always help, even if it should.

The organizations that run the transplant system are missing power and money to fix the issues.

Hospitals aren't always ready to provide this special care, especially outside of big cities.

This means patients often have to travel far and spend a lot of money, while donated organs sometimes go to waste.

The system needs to be fixed so more people can get the care they need.
