Anatomical gifts refer to the donation of a person’s organs, tissues, or entire body after death. These gifts can serve vital purposes such as:

  • Transplantation: Donated organs and tissues (e.g., heart, lungs, kidneys, corneas, skin) can save or improve the lives of individuals in need of a transplant.

  • Medical Research and Education: Whole-body donations or specific organ donations help advance scientific understanding and improve medical training for future healthcare professionals.
