Since the Transplantation of Human Organ Act was passed in 1994, the total number of cadaver transplants done for various solid organs is as follows( Jan 1995 – Jun 2001) : Kidney -379, Heart – 34, Liver – 12,Pancreas – 02.also over 600 corneas and about 502 heart valves have been donated. However, almost 165 donor organs were wasted due to the lack of waiting list information of patients in different region of the country. MOHAN Foundation (Multi Organ Harvesting Aid Network) , an NGO based in Chennai, India, recognized the need for a computerized network to streamline the process of Organ allocation and avoid wastage of organs. The foundation as now developed a software for a computerized registry that can be used in all parts of the country for keeping transplant waiting list and for organ matching. This programme available on the web and has the following objectives:

1. To store and maintain a common waiting list of cadaver organs required by patients on central computer from hospitals in the country.
2. To remotely view the most current waiting list data for any particular organ by any of the member hospitals in the network at any given time.
3. To be able to “match” an organ when available with the centrally available data on the server and appropriately allocate organs depending on sharing criteria of various regions.

The advantage of a central waiting list and matching software are as follows:

1. Prevention of organ wastage
2. Better matching of organ
3. Time factor- a central computerized system will give quick access to essential information about organ availability and information about where the patient resides. This will help in working out the logistics about sending the organ to that particular region.
4. Auditing of long – term results.
