  Mr. Gowtham, a member of Vinoth Arakkattalai, Salem invited MOHAN Foundation to give a talk on the Concepts of Brain Death and Organ Donation at Jai Ram Arts & Science College, Salem on 11^th March 2013. 

   

  Mr. M. Issac, Transplant Coordinator of MOHAN Foundation was deputed from Chennai to carry out the awareness talk.  He conducted two sessions with the students of the college. He explained the following topics to the participants:

     
  • Healthy life style and Healthy donor
     
  • Types of donors
     
  • Difference between natural death and brain death
     
  • Difference between brain death and coma
     
  • Organs that can be donated
     
  • Time of preservation of organs
     
  • Relevance of donor card
     
  • Transplant Co-ordinator Programme

   

  All the participants were very much involved with the session and showed their support for Organ Donation by picking up Donor Cards. They also raised few queries like:

              1.    If I die without knowing organ donation, can my parents donate my organs?

              2.    Is there any medicine to revive a brain death patient?

              3.    How can I be sure of my organs are donated to a needy patient?  

   

  The queries were answered. Around 200 students and teachers picked up donor cards and promised to spread this information to their family members and friends. Mr. M. Issac interacted with the staff and visitors of the college and informed them about Organ Donation and the activities of MOHAN Foundation.
