Living donation

Living donation occurs when a person chooses to donate an organ or part of an organ, such as a kidney or a portion of the liver, to someone in need while they are still alive. This generous act can significantly improve or save the recipient’s life, often resulting in better outcomes compared to deceased donations. The donor undergoes medical evaluations to ensure they are healthy and capable of donating safely. Living donation is voluntary, and donors are supported throughout the process, which includes surgery, recovery, and follow-up care.
