National Organ Donation Day Ride

Chennai Cyclists and Kidney Health India have joined hands to have an awareness ride on 4th August 2024, to reach out and educate more people on the importance of organ donation and saving lives. We hope you will join us in this journey of saving more lives through organ donation.

Kidney Health India is an initiative envisioned by a consortium of doctors to cater to the varied needs of organ failure patients.

Creating awareness, free and affordable kidney and multiorgan transplants, financial assistance to underprivileged are some of the key components of this foundation.

Each year the requirement for kidney transplants alone is around 2 lakhs and only around 10000 patients undergo transplants. But > 90% of the transplants are from live family donors and brain-dead donations are very minimal

In India, the organ donation rate is too low 0.34 per million population. Even in Tamil Nadu the pioneers of transplants it is low at 1.8 per million population compared to Spain which has 36 donations per million population.

Despite India's growth in healthcare, we still are far behind in organ donation awareness.
