Despite our constant reminders many centers undertaking cadaver transplantation failed to provide their latest figures. This makes compiling of such information very difficult. On the last count (September 1999), 272 kidney, 26 heart, 1 lung, 11 livers and 1 pancreas were transplanted from cadaver donors in India since the passing of Transplantation of Human Organs Act in 1994.  To keep the Indian transplant community abreast of cadaver transplantation activity in India we request all the centers to provide their figures regularly to the newsletter.
