Likelihood of receiving an organ in Mumbai. Patients with adequate financial resources have an increased likelihood of receiving an organ. When a patient in Mumbai requires an organ, their name is placed on both the hospital waiting list and the city-wide waiting list. Although financial status of the patient is not considered when determining an organ recipient, the likelihood of being offered an organ is greatly improved for those who are wealthier and able to place their name on multiple hospital waiting lists. The likelihood of undergoing transplant surgery is also increased for those who are able to pay for the surgery.
