    The short film God Vulture and Human– A hero’s dichotomy was screened at 10 am on July 12, 2024 in theJVDLRC Hall, SS Hall in Stella Maris College, Chennai. The film highlights the work of transplant coordinators, their work life balance and attempts to humanise their work. MOHAN Foundation’s coordinators and their work have featured in the film.

    Around 80 students of Social Work  and 10 staff attended the screening. Dr Hemal Kanvinde  introduced the work of MOHAN Foundation and  answered some of the queries:

    What is the need for organs and why is such a big cause?

    Can anyone donate eyes and skin?

    How do the transplant coordinators relax after a case?

    What is the process of pledging? 

    Why is next of kin consent needed for the donation, even when I have a donor card?

    What is the latest development in organ transplantation like AI, robotics and artificial organs?

     

    Mr Amudham thanked MOHAN Foundation for their support every time he screened the documentary film.
