Donating organs will not only help save others’ lives but will help you continue to live in those who receive the organs.

“Till the moment in Telangana, over 8,000 people suffering from serious illness got enrolled their names on the Jeevandhan portal and have been waiting for their turn of organ transplantation,” Harish Rao informed.

The Minister also said that the organ transplantation surgeries are being made in the government-run hospitals which kind of facility is nowhere in the country.
