During the health talk, Ms. Monica delivered an informative session on organ donation, covering its concept, types, and role in saving lives. She highlighted that renal and corneal transplant procedures are successfully conducted in Manipur. While explaining the concept of brain death, she emphasized that organs from a brain-dead individual can save as many as 8 to 9 lives. She stressed the significance of deceased organ donation, stating that instead of discarding the body after death, donating organs could create a lasting and meaningful impact on others. She also spoke briefly about the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, noting that the buying or selling of organs is strictly prohibited and punishable by law.
Following her talk, Ms. Chongtham Pritam, Medical Social Worker (Assisting Transplant), RIMS, addressed sociological aspects and misconceptions surrounding organ donation. She clarified that most major religions support organ donation, particularly those that value compassion, charity, and saving human lives.
Information pamphlets on organ donation were distributed to attendees. Nearly 300 people participated in the program and gained valuable insights into the importance of organ donation. Five individuals pledged to donate their organs.
