Manisha Mongan Periasamy was a 35-year-old woman who passed away tragically.
However, her death resulted in saving the lives of three people who were in dire need of organ transplants. According to her father, Jagan Mongan Periasamy, knowing that Manisha’s death had saved three lives gave his family a sense of comfort during a difficult time.
Manisha’s selflessness did not stop at organ donation. She also donated her flesh and bones, which can be used for future transplants. Her father believes that more people will benefit from her donations, and it gave his family an indescribable feeling of happiness to know that Manisha’s organs and tissues helped others.
Manisha’s story highlights the importance of organ donation. One person’s decision to donate organs can potentially save several lives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 115,000 organ transplants are performed worldwide each year, but the demand for organs still exceeds the supply. In Malaysia, the shortage of organ donors is a significant concern, with only 487 organ donors in 2020.
Organ donation is not limited to saving lives; it also improves the quality of life for the recipients. For example, a heart transplant can improve the recipient’s energy levels and mobility, while a liver transplant can help with digestion and overall health. Organ donation can also have a positive impact on the donor’s family. As in Manisha’s case, the knowledge that their loved one’s organs helped save lives can bring a sense of comfort and closure.
The process of organ donation can be daunting, but it is essential to understand the steps involved. The first step is to register as an organ donor. In Malaysia, you can register as an organ donor through the National Transplant Registry website.
If the potential donor passes away, a medical team will perform tests to determine if the organs and tissues can be donated. In Manisha’s case, the team performed two tests to confirm brain death, sent a blood sample to the lab, and asked the radiology staff to do a scan. The local procurement team and the National Transplant Center (NTRC) were informed of the potential donation.
Once the organs and tissues are deemed suitable for donation, they are surgically removed and transported to the appropriate hospitals for transplantation. A team of surgeons, nurses, and other medical professionals are involved in the transplant process.
There are several myths and misconceptions surrounding organ donation that can deter people from registering as donors. Some people believe that doctors will not try to save their lives if they know they are an organ donor. This is not true. Medical professionals will do everything possible to save your life, regardless of your organ donor status.
