This also included an interactive session about organ donation by Bhavana Akilan, a grade 12 student interning with the Foundation along with Dr. Hemal Kanvinde and Ishwarya for a team at MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care, Chennai. The team of 15 included doctors, nurses, perfusionists and technicians.
The session was held on 27th August at 3pm on Google Meet, enabling off-duty professionals to take part as well. It spanned a little over an hour. It covered the following topics in detail:
The session ended with a detailed Q&A session with Dr. Hemal and Ishwarya from the Foundation answering the audience’s questions, which mainly included details about the donor card, signing up as a donor, consent required for donation, brain death vs. coma, impact of COVID-19 on the organ donation accidents, networking, etc. The enthusiasm of the participants and their willingness to spread the word about organ donation and also sign up as donors themselves made the entire experience a worthy, enriching and rewarding one.
