 Dr Hemal spoke of the work of MOHAN Foundation and the helpline. She  expressed  that to make body donation popular, there needs to be more efforts to  explain the value of the donation and the simplicity of the procedures. A standard registration format and easy access to the form will help a person to take up the choice to be a donor. Further the procedure upon the demise, should also be streamlined, at this moment  many families struggle to find the contact person from the medical college to coordinate for the donation. 

Procedures followed in medical colleges and  special cases were also discussed. 

MOHAN Foundation thanks the Organizing Committee including Dr Saranya  R and Dr Vijaykishan B and others  for this opportunity.
