Organ allocation process in Mumbai. As per standard practice in Mumbai, the liver and one kidney are reserved for the retrieving hospital (where the patient died) if there is a compatible recipient. If there is no compatible recipient at the retrieving hospital, the organ is given to the city-wide waiting list. All other viable organs, including one kidney, the heart, pancreas, and lungs are allocated to recipients on the Mumbai-wide waiting list. If there are no compatible recipients in Mumbai, the organ will likely go to waste, as there is no inter-city sharing program in India.
