Assessment of knowledge and attitudes regarding organ donation among doctors and students of a tertiary care hospital.

About 29.9% of doctors and 49.8% of students knew about the law governing organ donation. The concept of brain death was entirely understood by only 31.7% of doctors and 14.7% of students. Only 16% of doctors and 3.2% of students had filled an organ donor card. About 40.9% of doctors and 51% of students favored the opt-out system, as followed by western nations. Fear of illegal selling or purchase of organs was predominant in 61.9% of doctors and 52.2% of students. The current study reveals that the medical fraternity's knowledge and personal responsibility need improvements. However, the system also needs to be improved to win their trust.
