Delhi Government has launched DORSO.org as an online registration system for voluntary organ donation. Voluntary donors will be able to register their names on the website and Delhi registered hospitals will have a registered password and can access the website encountering brain dead persons as a result of road traffic accidents.
Institute of Liver and Billiary Sciences was given the responsibility of initiating and supervising the framework for Deceased Organ and Retrieval Organization (DORSO).
"The fact that registered hospitals of Delhi will have a username and password to access this website will be helpful in facilitating organ retrievals in the event of brain death circumstances," Dr SK Sarin, Director ILBS, said. He also said that ILBS has decided to target an estimated six-million internet users in Delhi and NCERT with the use of information and internet technology.
"Organ donation should become a public movement in Delhi as it is for the benefit of our society. Government is only a facilitator and doctors can only offer their skills," Dr Sarin added.
