Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals (HCPs) towards organ donation in a rural town in Maharashtra, India, amidst an ongoing organ shortage.
- While 100% of HCPs were aware of organ donation, understanding varied: 50% recognized brain death as a valid donor state and only 15.6% accepted brain-dead individuals as "legally" dead.
- Despite high awareness of eye donation (87.5%) and general organ donation, nearly 47% of HCPs expressed a need for further education on the topic, particularly regarding the concept of brain death and its significance in organ donation.
