Dr Satya Sharma, who is the ambassador for organ donation at NHSBT (UK) spoke beautifully while quoting real life instances of how people can be motivated to support the wonderful cause that had the potential to save many lives. His powerful words, "If we are ready to take (organs), we must be ready to give" left a deep imprint in everyone's minds and set them thinking.
Mrs Jaya Jairam spoke about how she is testimonial to the miracle of organ donation and transplantation, by sharing her experience of how she got a second chance when her mother decided to donate one of her kidneys to save her when she was critically ill with kidney failure.
Mr Kumar Gaurav, Brand Head at Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance spoke about how they are driving the much needed awareness about organ donation, in partnership with MOHAN Foundation. Dr Rahul Gupta, Cardiologist at Apollo Hospital spoke about concepts of organ donation and Rtn Dr Tushar Muni spoke about eye donation and the need.

His daughter who resides in UK is a kidney transplant recipient herself.
