e-Pratyaropan digital platform:
During the 16th Indian Organ Donation Day event in New Delhi, Union Minister of State for Health Anupriya Patel unveiled the e-Pratyaropan Digital Platform.
- e-Pratyaropan is an integrated, national-level unified digital platform designed to digitize and streamline India’s organ donation and transplantation ecosystem.
- It serves as a central interface connecting hospitals, transplant surgeons, organ donors, waiting-list recipients, and administrative regulatory bodies into a single, technology-enabled framework.
- Nodal Ministry: Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India.
- Apex Implementing Agency: National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO).
- Aim is to establish a transparent, fair, and efficient organ donation framework that eliminates manual delays, prevents malpractices, maintains real-time organ registries, and speeds up organ matching and allocation to save lives.
Key Features:
- Unified National Registry & Waitlist Management: Maintains real-time digital databases for organ transplant waiting lists, deceased and living donors, tissue banks, and organ donation pledges.
- Automated & Transparent Organ Allocation: Uses protocol-based algorithms aligned with THOTA (Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act) guidelines to allocate retrieved organs strictly on medical priority, geography, and urgency—eliminating discretionary biases.
- Hospital &Stakeholder Integration: Enables registered hospitals, ROTTOs, and SOTTOs to log transplant procedures, organ retrieval alerts, and recipient updates within mandatory timeframes (e.g., 48 hours post-procedure).
- Digital Identity Verification: Integrates mobile and digital ID platforms to facilitate organ donation pledges and issue authentic digital pledge certificates.
- Real-Time Organ Tracking Capabilities: Interoperable with the NOTTO Mobile App to monitor the movement of retrieved organs along green corridors and transport routes.
