On May 12, 2025, MOHAN Foundation conducted an awareness talk on organ donation at the Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC), Mantripukhri, Imphal East, Manipur. The session was conducted by Ms. Moirangthem Priya Devi, Program Executive, MOHAN Foundation, Manipur and she was accompanied by Mr. Elangbam Paringanba Singh, Program Executive, MOHAN Foundation, Manipur.
The session was organised in collaboration with Mr. Kiran, Programme Head, AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). Students from Christ Jyoti School, Mantripukhri, Imphal, who had come for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, also attended and actively participated in the awareness session.
Ms. Priya began the session by introducing the team and explaining the concept of organ donation. She described the organs and tissues that can be donated and clarified the difference between living organ donation and deceased organ donation, helping participants understand both processes clearly. During the session, she highlighted that many patients remain on waiting lists and depend on the generosity of donors for a second chance at life.
She also informed participants about the procedure for pledging organ donation and explained how the pledge system works. She emphasised that even if a person has registered as an organ donor, the consent of the family is still required for organ retrieval after death. She concluded the session by encouraging participants to consider organ donation as a meaningful act that can save lives and offer hope to those in need.
At the end of the session, an interactive discussion was held to address queries related to deceased organ donation, and the participants’ concerns were clarified comprehensively. One of the participants also expressed gratitude to the MOHAN Foundation’s team for clearing their doubts and for its dedicated service to the cause of humanity.
Information pamphlets on organ donation were distributed to reinforce the key messages shared during the session. Close to 20 participants took part in the session, gaining valuable insights into the importance of organ donation, the pledge process, and the critical need for donors.
