Tamil Nadu to receive award for cadaver organ transplantation on August 3: Health Minister Arunraj
Tamil Nadu is set to receive a national award for its performance in cadaver organ transplantation on August 3. Health Minister K.G. Arunraj emphasized the need for increased public awareness to address the significant gap between organ demand and supply.
Why it matters
Recognizing state-level success in organ donation highlights the critical importance of public health policy and community awareness in saving lives.
Tamil Nadu will receive the award for the best performing State in cadaver organ transplantation during an event in New Delhi on August 3, said Minister for Health K.G. Arunraj on Sunday (August 2). He said the State would dedicate the award to all the donors and their family members.
The Minister said the State should spread more awareness on cadaver organ transplantation as many still believe that the body will be disfigured after organ donation, which is incorrect.
