Globally, shortage of organs available for organ transplantation is a major problem.
Studies assessing awareness and attitudes towards organ donation are limited from India.
The aim of this study is to assess gender differences in the perceptions and attitude of general population toward organ donation.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among randomly selected patient relatives (n = 193) at the outpatient department of a tertiary care center.
Data were collected through face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire.
Our findings revealed that majority of men than women were aware and in favor of promoting organ donation (χ2 = 10.428, P < 0.001).
Best part of men (70.9%) compared to 52.3% of women were willing to donate their organs after death (χ2 = 18.080, P <0.001).
Similarly, more number of (48.5%) men were willing to sign on the organ donation card.
There is an urgent need to uncover the myths and misconceptions of the general population toward organ donation.
Further, healthcare providers and governmental and nongovernmental agencies should take active initiation in motivating the public to give their consent for organ donation.
