  Overall, the course is an excellent platform for healthcare professionals and social workers who wish to contribute meaningfully to the field of organ transplantation. It instills a deep sense of responsibility, compassion, and awareness about the importance of organ donation. Completing this certification from MOHAN Foundation is truly a rewarding experience and a significant step toward making a positive social impact.

  The webinar was very informative and well-structured. However, it could be improved by adding more interactive sessions, case-based discussions, and real-life experiences from transplant coordinators and donor families. Additionally, it would be helpful if two separate language batches could be created — one in Hindi and another in English. For example, being from Rajasthan, a Hindi session would have made it easier to understand and participate more effectively.

  It is very hard to complete whole syllabus in six weeks but overall, those who want to learn will do but it will easy if you add some practice paper who will give summary for whole module. I complete whole course according to video the question and answer in video is really good some videos are too fast so need to design accordingly. Overall, it is too good to learn.
