AIIMS study highlights training deficit in brain death certification impacting organ donation

A study by AIIMS Delhi reveals a significant training gap in certifying brain death, hindering organ donation rates in India. Over half of surveyed doctors were not trained in medical colleges to certify brain death, impacting the timely retrieval of organs from deceased donors. Despite high transplant numbers, India's organ donation rate remains low, with experts citing awareness, hospital systems, and streamlined certification as crucial improvements.
