‘Organ transplant, a cheaper option’ Ludhiana, October 26 This consensus emerged at the International Conference of European Society of Organ Transplant held at Geneva (Switzerland) from Oct 14 to 19, 2005. Issues like quality of life after organ transplantation and matters relating to rehabilitation of transplanted patients were discussed at length by transplant surgeons from across the globe. Dr Baldev Singh Aulakh, Urologist and Head of Transplant Unit at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), who attended the conference, informed after his return to city that 'World Day for Organ Donation and Transplantation' was celebrated for the first time on the opening day of the conference with the participation of WHO. A team of transplant patients from Hungary and England played volleyball match and demonstrated their level of physical fitness after transplant. During the conference, WHO Coordinator for Clinical Proceeding chaired a session during which regulations of organ transplant from global perspective were discussed in detail and ways to increase organ from cadaver, all over the world, was stressed upon. Dr Aulakh further informed that there were more than 89,000 organ transplantations performed worldwide in 2004. "The number is very low as compared to the existing needs of one million patients suffering from kidney failure. In developed countries, where health systems are well organised and organ donation is publicly promoted, the number of patients waiting for a transplant is at least 2,00,000." The developed countries had a long way to go as far as organ transplant programme was concerned which became evident from the fact that till now, out of 91 countries who had demonstrated the capacity to transplant organs just one per cent were under-developed countries, another 46 per cent developing nations and 53 per cent developed countries. In nutshell, 80 per cent of the global population which was living in poor or emerging countries, with low or medium human development index (UNDP), had access to only 27 per cent of organ transplantation carried out globally, the conference noted with concern. He observed that in about one case out of two, the kidney for transplant came from a live donor while in the countries where organ transplantation was well regulated, live donation could only take place after careful medical controls, including socio-psychological test. Due to heavy demand for kidneys, the kidney transplantation from live donors should not be seen as an alternative to donation from deceased donors, but as a complement to maximise access to transplantation. The participating transplant surgeons were informed that liver transplantation had grown by more than 30 per cent in the past five years. "Figures show that about 17,000 liver transplantations were performed in 2004. The main reason for an increase in liver trans plantations was the growing number of complicated cases of chronic Hepatitis-C virus infections." In the later part of the conference, latest drugs to control rejection, reduce the cardio-vascular events and ways to maximise life of transplanted organ were discussed. Apart from this, ethics and medical problems relating to xenotransplant (transplant from animals) were also discussed at length, Dr Aulakh further added.
