On March 31, 2026, MOHAN Foundation NCR conducted organ donation awareness sessions at Cloudnine Hospital, Sector 55, Golf Course Road, Gurugram. The session was organized by Ms. Divya, HR at Cloudnine Hospital, Sector 55, Gurugram.
Ms. Simran Anand, Programme Officer at MOHAN Foundation NCR, and Ms. Anchal Sharma, Programme Officer at MOHAN Foundation NCR, served as the resource persons for the session.
Ms. Simran Anand led the session by assessing the participants’ existing knowledge and addressing common misconceptions related to organ donation. She explained the fundamental concepts of organ donation through a PowerPoint presentation and a short educational film on brain death. She also provided an overview of the current organ donation scenario in India, highlighted its importance, and presented relevant statistics, including comparisons with other countries. Additionally, she explained who can become a donor and which organs can be donated. These topics were comprehensively covered during the session.
The sessions covered key topics, including:
• Causes of brain death.
• The difference between brain death and coma.
• The registration process for organ donation.
• The process of eye donation and corneal preservation after death.
• Who can be a donor.
• Addressing common misconceptions related to organ donation.
The session was highly interactive, with participants actively engaging through questions and discussions. During the session, participants raised several important questions, such as: Who is considered a living donor? Is there any financial compensation provided to the donor’s family? After the brain death of a patient, if the family is willing to donate organs, who bears the cost of the donation procedure—is it covered, or does the donor’s family have to pay? Additionally, participants asked whether there is any chance of revival after brain death.
Ms. Simran Anand explained that in India, a living donor can donate an organ only to a close blood relative. She further clarified that organ donation after death is carried out free of cost if the donor’s family gives consent. However, if the family does not wish to donate the organs of their loved one, no organ donation takes place under any circumstances. She also emphasized that there is no chance of revival after brain death.
Approximately 17 employees attended the programme.
