The training was done in two sessions.

Dr. Hemal Kanvinde Quality Assurance Manager MOHAN Foundation explained the Concept of Organ Donation, gave the statistics that Tamilnadu is leading in Organ donation. The Transplant Act, Rules, Tamil Nadu Government Orders and police circular were also explained followed by the protocol followed during a MLC Organ Donation. All these points were translated into Tamil by Ms. Gieetha, Transplant Coordinator.
Ms. Gieetha shared few case studies highlighting the role of IO in the process of organ donation. Since none of the participants had heard of brain death, a documentary movie was played to explain Brain Death clearly.
