In a first , organ donation may move beyond just being a donation and involve incentives and concessions for the family of the donors.
The National Organ And Tissue Transplantation Organization , a central government Body which coordinates and promotes organ transplants has called for public views regarding what kind of incentives can be offered to the donor's
family . Doctors have hailed this move and have suggested various incentives like queue free railway ticket bookings , educational waivers for children of the donor , concessions in utility bills , waiver of hospital bills up to a certain amount , etc. At present, once the family of the patient who is declared brain dead gives consent for organ donation, the hospital bill from that moment onwards is waived off for them. However there is no other benefit or incentive involved for the family of the donor. The present law does not include any monetary concessions for the organ donor families .
