On 15th February 2021, Dr. Jimmy Gupta was invited by SKY Automobile-Mahindra Authorised Service Centre of Mira Road branch to conduct organ donation awareness for their employees. Ms. Geetanjali coordinated and made all necessary arrangements for the same.
Dr. Jimmy held an awareness session and introduced MOHAN Foundation, its mission, vision and philanthropy. She introduced the concept of organ and tissue donation. She also explained the types of death viz. circulatory death and brain death and the organs and tissues that can be donated. She elaborated on the procedure about bone donation which was a new topic for the public. She also described that tissue donation (skin & eyes) can happen even at home which caught the attention of the crowd. She then discussed about organ donations that can happen in the case of brain stem death and number of lives that can be saved by giving the examples of successful transplant stories, articles and news about green corridor. She also explained about the religious barrier and myths related to organ donation.
About 50 employees attended the awareness session. About 8 took the pledge to donate organs and a few pledges were filled online. She introduced about Organ Donation Ambassador Program for volunteers.
