Here's my concluding slide:
- India has enormous talent and accomplishment in living-donor transplantation
- To more nearly reach it’s potential, India needs to invest in recovering deceased donor organs.
- In the near term, it can build on it’s accomplishments in kidney transplantation, by
- establishing national (not just regional) kidney exchange
- Continuing to explore international exchange for the hardest to match pairs
- Reducing restrictions on who can be an exchange donor
- Allowing non-directed donors and chains
- Allowing some chains to begin with a deceased-donor kidney
- Reducing financial barriers by increased investment in public hospitals and government health insurance, for organ donors as well as recipients
