- India achieved 5 lakh organ donation pledges, supported by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) Aadhaar-based online pledge system.
- Organ transplantation involves the transfer of organs like the kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, and intestine from living or deceased donors.
- India ranks 3rd globally in total organ transplants, after the United States (US) and China, but still faces a shortage of deceased donors.
- The system operates under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), 1994 (amended 2011), which recognises brain-stem death as legal death.
- Institutional structure includes NOTTO (national level), ROTTO (Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization), and SOTTO (State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization).
