On January 6, 2026, MOHAN Foundation conducted an organ donation awareness session at the Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC), Mantripukhri, Imphal East, Manipur. The session was led by Ms. Moirangthem Priya Devi, Programme Executive, along with Mr. Bidyananda Laishram, Senior Programme Executive, MOHAN Foundation.

The session was organised in collaboration with Mr. Kiran, Programme Head, Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), and the supporting staff of the centre.

Ms. Priya Devi initiated the session by introducing the MOHAN Foundation team, followed by an overview of organ donation. She explained the major organs eligible for donation and clarified the distinction between living donor and deceased donor organ transplantation. She highlighted that a significant number of patients remain on transplant waiting lists, dependent on the availability of suitable donors for survival.

Ms. Priya further informed the participants about the formal process of registering as an organ donor and explained the operational aspects of the organ donation pledge mechanism. She emphasised that, regardless of an individual’s prior pledge, organ retrieval after death requires consent from the family. The session concluded with an appeal to view organ donation as a vital, life-saving act rather than perceiving post-death body disposal as the only option.

Information pamphlets on organ donation were distributed during the concluding segment of the session to reinforce the key messages shared. Nearly 15 participants attended the programme and benefited from enhanced awareness and understanding of organ donation.
