  A one day awareness camp on organ donation was set up in the premises of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on 25th March, 2013 to spread awareness on organ donation amongst the common public.

   

  The information desk was set up in the MCD Park opposite the hospital’s emergency unit so as to reach maximum people (patients and attendants) who wait in the park and nearby area. Queries like how to pledge one's organs, if the donor card should be kept with the person pledging the organs or the foundation; were aptly handled by MOHAN Foundation's representatives. The importance of sharing the decision to pledge one's organs with the family members was also stressed. Fliers and donor cards were distributed. There was a good response to the awareness kiosk. We reached out to about 40 people and 20 donor cards were distributed.

   

  Fliers were also distributed to the general public present in the park, to increase the outreach and tap maximum number of people.

   

  The same activity would be repeated on March 28, 2013.
