Thiru.V.K.Subburaj I.A.S., Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Tamil Nadu has consented to be the Chief Guest and will honour the nurses, lab technicians, helpers and police personnel who helped facilitate the organ donation process at Government General Hospital, Chennai. Prof. J. Mohanasundaram, Dean MMC, and Dr. C. Veni, Medical Superintendent, Govt. General Hospital will be the Guests of Honour. An Organ Donation awareness talk will also be delivered to the 1st year Medical students to sensitise them about this very important concept.
In the afternoon, an inter-collegiate competition for social work students on street theatre, mime, poster design and collage has been organised. This is to encourage students to come up with innovative and creative ideas to take the message of organ donation into the community.
For the valedictory function and prize distribution in the evening, noted actor and orator, Thiru. R. Sivakumar, will be present to share his thoughts on the noble cause of organ donation with the students.
