உயிர் பிரிந்த பின் தமது உடற்பாகங்கள் தீக்கும் மண்ணுக்கும் இரையாகாமல், பிறரது வாழ்வுக்குத் துணையாவதே பெருவாழ்வு! அதனால்தான், துணை முதலமைச்சராக...

Reflecting on the sublime humanitarian virtue of deceased organ transplantation, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin asserted that offering bodily organs after death to grant life to critically ill patients is the ultimate expression of human nobility. Stalin recalled that during his tenure as Deputy Chief Minister, he formally pledged to donate his own organs, and subsequently as Chief Minister announced in September 2023 that organ donors would be honored with formal state police funeral respects across Tamil Nadu.

The Chief Minister revealed that since this pathbreaking policy came into force, 479 noble citizens, including 268 generous donors in the past year alone, have donated vital organs, revitalizing hundreds of critically ill patients nationwide. Stalin expressed profound gratitude and respect to the families of donors for their selflessness in moments of intense grief, emphasizing that their compassionate choice has elevated Tamil Nadu to the foremost position across India in institutional deceased organ donation and clinical harvesting.

Stalin concluded that expanding advanced organ transplantation infrastructure and promoting public awareness represent central pillars of Dravidian healthcare governance. He pledged to maintain the state's national leadership in saving lives through compassionate medical care.
