On May 3, 2025, an organ donation awareness session was conducted at Panvel Police Station, Raigad, for police staff members. A total of 25 participants attended the session.
Ms. Prarthana provided detailed information about living and deceased organ donation, the types of organs and tissues that can be donated after death, and the distinctions between circulatory death and brain stem death. She also elaborated on the procedure for body donation and its significance in medical research and education.
In addition, she introduced the staff to MOHAN Foundation's initiatives, including the 24/7 organ donation helpline functions, and the process of successful organ and tissue donations across India.
The session was highly interactive, with staff listening attentively and actively participating in discussions. Many police officers showed a keen interest in learning more about organ donation. Some raised questions about how to counsel families, whether it is easy to motivate them, and how many donations typically happen through such counseling. Ms. Prarthana addressed these queries, guiding them on how they could contribute to the cause and help spread awareness about organ donation in their communities.
The session concluded with Mr. Rajnish Shende delivering a positive message, encouraging everyone to save multiple lives by pledging to be organ donors.
