Mr. Sudhir Dewan, 55yrs is a liver transplant patient living in Chandigarh. During his illness, he was advised for a liver transplant. Since there was no donor from his blood relations with his blood group he registered himself under cadaveric source but even after trying for two long years, did not get any success. Fortunately his son-in-law’s blood group matched with him and he agreed to save Mr. Dewan’s life, by donating his liver for transplanting in time.
Right from that time, he decided to work for organ donation, wherein the relatives of brain dead patients can be counseled for organ donation. He has the strong will to start his second innings which he wishes to devote himself to a work with social cause. Single-handedly, he started contacting different hospitals from nearby districts of Punjab and met with one successful story of convincing one brain dead patient’s family to donate his organs. This experience gave him lots of hope and motivation to work even hard for this dignified cause. To expand the vicinity of this noble act, he was expecting a ground where he can gain knowledge and more guidance. His quest for volunteering for a gracious act, lead him to MOHAN Foundation which is the pioneer organization working for organ donation and transplantation.
Mr. Sudhir Dewan visited MOHAN Foundation, Chennai on 3rd December 2010. With much hope and interest he gained information about MOHAN Foundation, activities, counseling donor families, networking with licensed transplant hospitals in Tamil Nadu. He told that his visit will definitely help him in bringing more result orientated cadaver organ donations in his state. Lastly he left with the hope of envisaging a similar programme as Tamil Nadu in Chandigar so that many end stage organ failure patients can get life as a second chance.
