Policy Suggestions for Transplantation of Organs in India

One of the most honorable acts of humanity is the donation of an organ or organs to save the lives of patients with severe diseases that necessitate organ replacement. Organs can be donated by people who are alive as well as dead. India has seen a noteworthy upsurge in organ donation following the death of the brain in recent years. There are various legal, clinical, ethical, and technical constraints implicated in the current organ donation and transplantation systems in terms of registering recipients, matching donors with recipients, removing organs, delivering organs, and transplanting organs. An end-to-end system is essential to ensure an impartial and competent organ donation and transplantation process. Use of blockchain technology in order to better manage organ donation and allocation can be one of the most efficient ways to remedy this situation. The article proposes blockchain-based solution to ensure complete decentralization, security, traceability, privacy, and trustworthiness in the donation and transplantation of organs. By performing confidentiality, safety, and privacy analyses and linking our projected resolution with the prevailing one, we evaluate the performance of the suggested solution. Adopting the above-mentioned measures will lead to the creation of block chain platforms or hyper ledger fabric frameworks, streamlining organ donation and allocation processes, which will benefit India as it moves toward the digital future in health care.
