On July 13, 2026, an organ donation awareness session was conducted at the Orthopaedic Outpatient Department (OPD) of Agartala Government Medical College & Govind Ballabh Pant (AGMC & GBP) Hospital. The programme was held at Orthopaedic OPD area, with the main objective of reaching out to trauma patients, their caregivers, and accompanying relatives, who are potential advocates of organ donation.

The awareness session was conducted by Ms. Nipa Modak, Program Executive, MOHAN Foundation, Tripura.

The primary objective of the programme was to create awareness about organ and tissue donation and to highlight the role of trauma physicians playing a vital role in transplantation process. The programme also aimed to dispel common myths and misconceptions, such as religious prohibition, fear of bodily mutilation, or the existence of a commercial organ trade, and to promote a better understanding of ethical and legal organ donation practices.

Mr. Biswajit Debbarama, Program Executive, MOHAN Foundation, Tripura, distributed informational leaflets to all the attendees. The leaflets also included important contact numbers of transplant hospitals in the state of Tripura.

Approximately 22 attendants participated in the awareness session. Although modest in number, the attendance reflected the focused nature of OPD based educational activities and the practical limitations related to OPD scheduling and patient flow.
