New Delhi [India], August 3 (ANI): Emphasing the importance of Ayurveda and Yoga, Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Saturday urged the citizens to incorporate these in their lifestyle for overall well-being.
Addressing the ceremony of 15th Indian Organ Donation Day, Nadda said, 'Unhealthy lifestyle and food habits are among the major factors leading to organ failure. It is therefore necessary to take preventive measures and lifestyle interventions. Ayurveda and Yoga offer simple practices to strengthen our organs and boost immunity. We must adopt Yoga to promote overall well-being.'
Highlighting the strides made by India in the direction of organ donation, Nadda stated that 'since the launch of Aadhar Aadhar-based NOTTO online pledge website in 2023, more than 3.30 lakh citizens have pledged their organs to donate, marking a historic moment in public participation. This surge in pledge registration reflects a growing awareness and dedication amongst the citizens towards this shared goal.'
Underlining the Government's efforts for organ transplantation, Shri Nadda stated that 'to make organ transplant more accessible, financial support of up to Rs 15 lakh is provided to poor patients for transplantation of kidneys, liver, heart and lungs under the Rashtriya Arogya Nidhi. Poor patients are provided support of up to Rs 10,000 per month after transplant to cover the medical expenses. Kidney transplant package has also been included in Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri- Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY).'
Nadda extended his gratitude to the donor families for their courage, compassion, and sacrifice, and commended the doctors, coordinators, nurses, NGOs, and other stakeholders for their 'unwavering dedication that makes the second chance at life possible.'
He also acknowledged the work done by States and Union Territories for augmenting organ donation and transplants and urged them to learn from best practices implemented by the different states. (ANI)
