00:00We have created a new society, Indian Society for Transplant Surgeons,
00:05which will have all the transplants, kidneys, liver, pancreas, heart, lungs, all the transplants.
00:11The main purpose of this society is to promote the transplant program in India.
00:18At this time, as you might have heard in the morning's speech,
00:22the number of transplants in the government sector in India is very low.
00:26There are only 70 medical institutions in which there are some facilities for transplantation.
00:31Out of those 70, maybe only 20-25 are being transplanted actively.
00:34So, by increasing this number, how can we increase the number of 70 transplant centers and do 200 transplants?
00:43How can more transplants be increased in the private sector?
00:45How can more transplant surgeons be trained?
00:47That is the main purpose of this society.
00:49How many such doctors will be involved in this society?
00:52In this society, there are all kinds of transplant surgeons,
00:56whether they are in the private sector, whether they are in the government sector,
00:59whether they are doing liver transplant, whether they are doing kidney transplant,
01:02from all over India, from all over India, from all over the place.
01:05This society has been built.
01:06How many transplants are going to increase in the coming time?
01:10We are trying.
01:12For example, there are 18,000 kidney transplants, 4,000 liver transplants.
01:17If we are able to double this number in the next 5 years,
01:20then maybe there will be some contribution.
01:22There are more transplants in the private sector.
01:25Why are there less in the government sector?
01:27What is the reason?
01:28There are two or three reasons why there are less in the government sector.
01:31One is that in many medical colleges, the facilities for transplantation are not available.
01:36In the government sector, transplant surgeons are not available to work.
01:41They do not have any training and so many transplant surgeons are not available.
01:44There are only 5-6 centres in the government where transplant surgeons are being trained.
01:50There is a lot of need to increase the training base.
01:53That is the biggest reason why there are no transplants.
01:56Although the government supports this a lot.
