The need to create a culture for organ donation

Brain death :

In brain death, blood flow to the brain is stopped, oxygen is not supplied to it. The brain loses all its function and suffers irreversible damage.  Although other organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys, are still functioning after brain death, they will gradually decline over the next few days.  The brain dead patient does not speak, does not see, does not respond to any external stimuli, and will not be able to breathe without the use of a ventilator.

The need to create a culture for organ donation:

Every day, several people in the country die due to the lack of transplanted organs. Meanwhile, every year, a large number of brain death cases (without organ donation) occur in the country!

Anyone with brain death can resuscitate eight people

Anyone with brain death can resuscitate eight people.  In brain death accidents, the lung is the first organ to be destroyed and a lung transplant requires special expertise, but the rest of the body, including the heart, kidneys, liver, etc., can be transplanted. Organ transplantation is the only way to survive for patients with advanced heart failure, liver, etc.

More than one million people worldwide are currently receiving organ transplant treatment, and some of these patients have survived for more than twenty five years.  Meanwhile, the golden period for organ transplantation is only a few days, an issue that does not have an organ donation card after obtaining organ donation consent from families who have died of brain death.  Organ donation is difficult for coordinating members.  In many cases, families do not easily consent to donating an organ, and the process of obtaining consent from them takes up to four days, during which time the golden time for donating some vital organs, including the lungs, is lost.

Organ donation is a multifaceted category that requires different individuals and organizations to enter to improve the culture in this field.  Officials, NGOs, charities, artists and other influential people in the community play an important role in creating a culture of organ donation.

The organ donation card that people apply for is not legal in Iran, it is the consent of the parents that determines the organ donation of the brain dead person.  But experience has shown that after a person dies of brain damage, when the organ donation card is shown to his family, the family will surely comply with his request.

In our country, the Ministry of Health is taking action to donate an organ with a www.ehdacenter.ir  address. has created a field where people interested in receiving an organ donor card can easily receive it by filling out an online form.  After filling out the online form, the organ donor card comes up and people can take a print of it and take this card with them without the need to go to a special office.
