On 4^th Oct 2021, MOHAN Foundation was invited by Caregiver Saathi Foundation for conducting session on Organ Donation to their members and beneficiaries. Ms. Vimala M.V. coordinated this session and introduced the speaker.

Dr. Jimmy Gupta introduced MOHAN Foundation as an NGO working passionately for deceased organ donation past 24 years. She explained the difference between Cardiac Death & Brain Death in-depth. Then she elaborated about the organs & tissues that can be donated by both the cases. She elaborated the procedure about bone donation which was a new topic for the trainees. She explained ‘How organ allocation to the persons on the waiting list is transparent’. She also introduced the participants to new advances in the program like Hand & Uterus transplant.

She also explained the importance of Green Corridor at the time when an organ must be transported after retrieval for transplant as it is very crucial that the organ should be transplanted on time otherwise it will get wasted. Lastly she debunked myths around organ donation and explained the fact involved in the process of organ donation.

Dr. Jimmy then invited participants to join in our volunteering program. Details of Organ donation Helpline No. 1800 103 7100 was also shared. Around 80 participants attended the awareness session. We are very thankful to Ms. Vimala M.V. and Caregiver Saathi Foundation for inviting us and supporting the cause of Organ Donation.
