Description
Neha Joe, Shinto Chakala, Farah Fathima, and Nachiket Shankar survey patient attendants at a South India hospital on organ donation. The head of the paper dates the work to 2024. India donation rate in 2019 was just over half a donor per million people, held down by low awareness, fear of misuse, and cultural beliefs.
Interviews with 110 attendants ran from June to October 2022. About 70 percent scored as having adequate knowledge on a 13-point scale. Nearly all backed organ donation, yet only about half would donate themselves. Men, urban residents, and those with more schooling or income scored higher on awareness. Schooling alone predicted awareness in the joint model. The authors urge targeted teaching to close the support-to-action gap.
