Committing to organ donation while a person is still living<br>2. Committing to organ donation with the family&#8217;s consent after death<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person can pledge for organ donation at any time during their life by filling out a donor form, which can be received from ORBO either in person or by mail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Get the donor form from the official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Fill out the &#8220;Organ\/Body Donation&#8221; form after downloading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: On the donor form, you&#8217;ll need two witnesses&#8217; signatures, one of whom must be a close family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4<\/strong>: If your request is approved, you will receive a &#8220;Donor Card&#8221; with a registration number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5<\/strong>: If you decide to become a donor, you must inform your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another way is to make a valuable donation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hospital also accepts unregistered donations. If a person dies without registering, his or her organs can be donated by the person&#8217;s relatives. The sole requirement for this contribution is that they sign a consent form, which is provided at the time. The body of the deceased is respectfully returned to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Organ Donation Day 2023\"  class=\"wp-image-622600 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/organ-donation.jpg\" ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Graeme MacKay, Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9007d\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-kidney-day\/\">World Kidney Day 2024- History, Theme, Significance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-institutes-to-register-for-organ-donation\">Institutes to Register for Organ Donation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Organ Donation Day, if you want to become a donor, you can do so by registering on the following websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
