Nadda says 19K organ transplants performed last year

August 03, 2025

As many as 18,911 organ transplants were performed last year in India, which continues to face an acute shortage of organs for transplantation, a latest government report said Saturday.

- KAVITA BAJELI-DATT @New Delhi

The report, released by Union Health Minister JP Nadda, said that although the number of transplants in India has significantly increased from 4,990 in 2013 to 18,378 in 2023 and 18,911 transplants in 2024 from January to December, the organ donation rate remains low at less than 1 per million population. "This starkly contrasts with the highest in the world at around 48 per million population in Spain," it said.

India is the third highest in the world, after the US and China, in terms of total organ transplantation and first in terms of total living donor organ transplantation.
