Our CorrespondentSeptember 19, 20250

By Jyoti Galada Umang Galada: Youngest Organ Donor This is the story of Umang Galada, the youngest organ donor of West Bengal. It is also a story that echoes the struggles of thousands of organ failure patients across India who are waiting for a transplant—though their endings may be different. Umang was a 12-year-old boy who fought to find a kidney donor so he could live. In the end, he became an organ donor himself. His liver saved the life of a critically ill 8-year-old child, and his corneas gave the gift of sight to two visually impaired individuals.

The Power of saying ‘Yes’: A Gift of Organ Donation

Our CorrespondentSeptember 10, 20250

By Jyoti Galada There is a power we all hold as citizens, as family members, and as individuals and that is the power of saying "YES" to organ donation. A single 'yes' can save up to 8 lives and enhance the lives of 75 more. It can give organ failure patients the chance to live a normal life, restore their hope to feel included and capable, and become a blessing to families facing emotional, mental, and financial trauma. This 'yes' is most needed at one of life’s hardest moments when your loved one has been declared brain dead and is lost to you forever. Yet in that moment of loss, you can keep their legacy alive through the gift of organ donation. Before the body being buried or cremated, it can go on to give life by donating organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, a

India Overturns Surrogacy Rules: What Should You Know About New Changes?

Snehashish RoyFebruary 26, 20240

The Indian government has recently amended the surrogacy rules, allowing couples to use donor eggs or donor sperm for surrogacy. This amendment has overturned the previous rule made in March 2023 that banned the use of donor gametes. However, the new notification states that if the District Medical Board certifies that either husband or wife constituting the intending couple suffers from a medical condition necessitating the use of donor gamete, then surrogacy using donor gamete is allowed. The relaxation in the rules is primarily for intending couples. However, the notification specifies that if a divorced or widowed woman opts for surrogacy, the egg has to come from the mother. Single women (widow or divorcee) undergoing surrogacy must use self-eggs and donor sperms to avail of...

Once Killed Over 50 Million, Bubonic Plague Back After Centuries; Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Be Worried

Snehashish RoyFebruary 19, 20240

Earlier this week, health officials in the US state of Oregon confirmed the first case of bubonic plague since 2005. According to reports, the person who contracted the disease likely got it from a sick pet cat. The disease was quickly detected, and the individual received antibiotics for treatment.

Quality Abortion Care Is Right Of Every Women; Check Out Story

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

When it comes to defining health, it can be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease or infirmity. Making health for all a reality, and moving towards the progressive realization of human rights, requires that every individual have access to quality health care, including comprehensive abortion care services – which incorporate the information, management of abortion, and post-abortion care. Lack of access to safe, timely, affordable, and respectful abortion care poses a risk to not only the physical but also the mental and social, well-being of ladies and girls. Induced abortion could be a simple and customary healthcare procedure. Each year, almost half of all pregnancies – 121 million – are unintended; 6 out of ...

Malnourishment Among Indian Women: A Challenge At Hand After 75 Years Of Independence

Pooja YadavOctober 20, 20220

Among developing nations, India has one of the highest rates of malnourished adult women. Add to it the fact that many new mothers in India are adolescents, 75% of whom are anaemic, and that most gain less weight during pregnancy than is healthy (5 kilograms on average compared to the global average of close to 10 kilograms). Food is not a choice. Eating nutritious meals is essential for survival and growth. The right to food is an essential component of the right to life. Given that 1 in 4 Indian women of reproductive age are underweight, the denial of their right to food frequently has at its root the glaring lack of gender parity. Women and girls live under incredibly harmful gender-based social norms every day, which frequently results in them "eating last, eating last, and eati...

Women Effected Most Amid Covid-19: Let’s Look Into Reasons

Pooja YadavAugust 8, 20220

The COVID pandemic has resulted in one of the worst financial conditions. Manufacturing units are closed up, demand has plummeted, and job losses are seen across the sectors. The Union Finance Ministry has estimated that GDP will shrink 4.5 percent within the current year. However, hope has arisen from rural India as the agriculture sector seems to possess been relatively less stricken by the pandemic and consequent lockdown. Rural India never really went into a severe lockdown and thus harvested, procurement, and consumer activity have remained more or less identical. Thus while GDP will decline, a rate of growth of two.5 percent is projected for agriculture this yr. In 2019-20 agriculture grew by 4% due to record production of food grains supported by good rains and a recovery in ...
