  Thank you MOHAN Foundation for this online course. Being new in this field of transplantation there were area of doubts and questions. Now after joining the course I have learned a lot. Video lectures were one of my favourites. The PPT and text were easy to understand. In addition, the webinar gave insight to my knowledge. Overall, the course was a complete package. The team handling the course did a great job.
