Awareness session on organ donation for the residents of Laburnum, Gurgaon

On February 16, 2013 MOHAN Foundation's team conducted an awareness session on organ donation for the residents of Laburnum, a condominium in Gurgaon. The session was led by Ms. Pallavi Kumar with support from Seema Yadav from Medanta-The Medicity.


The talk focused on concepts of organ donation and transplantation, the law (THO act), brain death and its causes, myths around organ donation and tissue donation. A short film on 'brain death' was also screened to give the group a clarity on brain death and how it is different from coma. A very intense discussion followed the presentation and numerous queries were raised. Questions were asked on brain death, within what time can different organs be donated, whom to be contacted and within how many hours of death.

Since many of the participants were older people with their children abroad, there were concersn around how consent would be obtained.

Around 25 residents attended the talk and each one of them signed the donor card. Many tok additional cards for their family members.
