Delhi officials have called for organ donation to be promoted as a social movement, urging citizens to register as donors and spread awareness.
Delhi officials have highlighted the need to transform organ donation into a social movement, stressing that collective action can save thousands of lives. The announcement was made during a press briefing by the Delhi Health Department, which outlined a multi‑channel campaign to encourage more people to register as organ donors.
The campaign urges citizens to complete the donor registration process through the state’s online portal and to share their decision with family and friends. Officials say that increased donor registrations will help reduce the long waiting lists for transplant patients.
In addition to online outreach, the department will partner with local NGOs, hospitals and media outlets to conduct workshops and informational sessions across the city. The goal is to normalize organ donation as a civic responsibility.
The initiative reflects Delhi’s broader public health strategy to improve organ availability and to foster a culture of altruism among its residents.
