  The Participants response was very enthusiastic. They appreciated the cause and came up with many suggestions. A woman amongst the participants shared  incident about her husband’s death with liver failure. She was not aware about Live Liver Transplant. She said if she had attended this session  five months before, her husband would be alive.
