  On 8^th August 2021, MOHAN Foundation in association with Transplants – Help The Poor Foundation conducted an online awareness session on organ donation for students of School of Self Education, Nagpur. Mr Himanshu Pazare, Director of School of Self Education, Nagpur   promoted & coordinated the session.

  Ms Prarthana Dwivedi introduced MOHAN Foundation to the participants. She explained living donation and deceased donation and the organs that can be donated after death.

  In this session she explained the following points:

  • MOHAN Foundation’s mission & vision
  • Difference between circulatory death and brain death
  • Organ donation types and who can be a donor
  • How many lives can be saved & healed through Organ Donation
  • The status of Organ Donation in India and their requirements vs. donation rates
  • She debunked various myths with facts about Organ Donation
  • Age is not a constraint in donating their organs.
  • Importance of the Donor Card.

  In the Q & A segment, some of the participants asked about Brain Death and how it will happen and some also asked about the difference between organ donation & body donation. Ms Prarthana answered all the queries promptly.

  It was an interactive session. The entire group got motivated and was convinced to support organ donation and they would love to share their wish with their families and also respect the body after death. About 81 participants including team of School of Self Education participated in the session.

  We would like to thank Mr Himanshu Pazare and his team of School of Self Education for inviting us and supporting the cause of Organ Donation.
