The session witnessed the participation of around 50 attendees, including RTO staff and public visitors, who actively engaged throughout the programme.

The awareness session was organised to sensitise participants about the growing need for organ donors and the life-saving impact of organ and tissue donation. The session provided an opportunity for attendees to gain a better understanding of the donation process and clarify common misconceptions related to organ donation.

During the programme, participants were educated about various aspects of organ and tissue donation, including eligibility criteria, the process of organ retrieval and transplantation, and the importance of family consent. The discussion also focused on the concepts of brain stem death and cardiac death, helping attendees understand how organ and tissue donation can take place after death and contribute to saving multiple lives.

The participants actively engaged in discussions and expressed curiosity regarding the donation process and its impact on patients awaiting transplantation.

The awareness session received a positive response from the RTO officials and attendees, who appreciated the efforts taken to spread awareness about this important social cause.
