Organ Donation
At Shatayu, we support the process of donation by working with deceased donors who can give organs, eyes and tissue to save and heal others. Whether it’s some or all depends on a variety of factors including how they pass away, health status and strength of the organs.
Living donation is another incredible way you can help save the life of your loved one waiting for an organ transplant by working directly with transplant centers. Through living donation, a living person can donate a kidney or part of the liver, lung, intestine or pancreas to another person in need of a transplant.

Living Donation
Through living donation, a living person can donate a kidney or part of the liver, lung, intestine or pancreas to another person in need of a transplant.
There are many factors to look at when considering living donation. Things such as blood type and overall health are factors when considering becoming a living donor. Each potential living donor must go through a full medical evaluation that includes lab tests, a physical examination and a psychosocial examination.
The decision about whether to accept the living donor is then made by the health care team at the transplant center. Living donation is a process facilitated directly through transplant centers.
When Awareness Grows, So Does the Power to Save Lives.
