The organ donors in Karnataka should need to give their details of their Aadhaar card when they donate their
organs, as the state is attempting to smooth the organ donor registry. Shalini Rajneesh (Health Ministry Principal
Secretary), hopes that the biometric data matching could minimise waiting
hours, and subsequently help to save another life. Doctors can just take
the thumbprint of the dead patient and check in the online to see if he/she had
pledged their organs and then go ahead with the procedure. Currently, doctors find it
hard to discuss organ donation with the strip family.
The state government is hoping that they
can speed up the process of cogent the family to assent to organ donation
if the donor has already linked his Aadhaar details to the organ donation
registry. If the donor does not inform their family that he/she has pledged the organs and doctors spend valuable time trying to convince the family that the
patient has given prior consent, Rajneesh said.
