Organ Donation Spotlight: 125 Kidney Transplants at Nellore Hospital

Sometimes people get very sick and their kidneys, livers, hearts, or lungs stop working.

Doctors can help them with a transplant, which means putting a healthy organ from another person inside them.

The person who gives the organ is called a donor.

Donors and their families show great kindness because they give life even when they are very sad.

In India, many more people need organs than there are organs to give.

A hospital in Nellore has helped 125 people get new kidneys.

Most of those patients are still doing well five years later.

The hospital also helps many people with dialysis, a machine that cleans the blood.

Doctors say we should talk to our families and become organ donors.

That way, when one life ends, it can begin many new ones.
