  Young Engineer pledging for Donor Card

  The Civil Engineering Department of Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College organized a symposium named “WAFES 2013”.  They invited MOHAN Foundation to set up an information stall on Organ Donation at the event on 11^th February 2013.  The Transplant Coordinators Mr. Anand and Ms. Kavitha explained the following topics  to the students:

  • 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

   

  All the students were excited to visit the stall and showed their support for Organ Donation by picking up Donor Card. They also raised few queries like:

   

  1. If something happens to me in future, do I have to inform MOHAN Foundation?
  2. Activities of MOHAN Foundation?
  3. Who gets priority to receive a donated organ?   

   

  The queries were answered. Nearly 42 picked up donor cards and promised to spread this information to their family members and friends.
