Awareness session on organ donation at Minda Corporation Ltd, Noida

Updated on Tuesday, October 3, 2017
  • On September 29, 2017, MOHAN Foundation was invited to conduct a session on organ donation for the employees of Minda Corporation Limited at sector 59, Noida. It was Mr. Pushpinder Singh of Honda Cars India Pvt Ltd who took the initiative to get the session organised at Minda because of his close association with Mr Sumit Doseja COO Security Division, Minda Corporation limited. Ms. Sunny Singh Welfare Officer, Security Division, Minda coordinated the whole process and was the contact person for Foundations representatives. Dr Muneet Kaur Sahi and Ms. Jyoti Sharma were the resource persons.

     

    Dr. Muneet began the session by introducing the Foundation and its activities. She then focussed on the basic concepts of organ donation and transplantation. While explaining the concept that organ donation can only happen in 'brain death' condition she showed a  short film on it so that the participants get better clarity on the subject. She finished the talk by discussing various myths on organ donation and their corresponding reality check.

     

    The participants asked few queries, to name a few:

    • What is the process of pledging one's organs?
    • Who gets the organ and how is waiting list prepared?
    • What is the purpose of carrying a donor card?

     

    Close to 22 participants attended the talk and the same number of donor cards were picked up.
