Awareness session on Organ Donation

There is a vast shortage of donated organs in India as a result of which, many patients on the waiting list succumb to disorders as they do not receive an organ in time. This session is being organized to aware you about what Organ Donation is, the very need as well as procedure for the same. The session will also clear all your myths related to organ donation.

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body, from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation. In organ donation, a person pledges during her/his lifetime, that after death, organ/s from the body can be used for transplantation to help terminally ill patients get a new lease of life. According to the law, however, the prerogative on the decision eventually rests with the next of kin of the deceased.

MOHAN Foundation is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization started to promote organ donation in 1997 in Chennai by philanthropists and medical professionals led by Dr. Sunil Shroff. MOHAN Foundation was started by a group of like-minded and concerned medical and non-medical professionals committed to increasing the reach of the Transplantation of Human Organs Act.

Dr. Muneet Kaur Sahi, a distinguished speaker in the sphere of Organ Donation will be the resource person.
