Why has organ failure become a health crisis according to Union Health Minister
Union Health Minister highlighted alarming situation in recent letter to Chief Ministers.
- Lack of awareness: Many people are not educated about the risks and causes of organ failure, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
- Inadequate infrastructure: Hospitals often lack the necessary equipment and trained personnel to effectively treat patients with organ failure.
- Shortage of organ donors: The demand for organs far outweighs the supply, resulting in long waiting lists for transplants and increased mortality rates.
- Poor lifestyle choices: Factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and substance abuse contribute to the rising cases of organ failure.
- Delayed medical interventions: Many patients do not seek medical help until it is too late, leading to irreversible organ damage.
