Feedback from Faculty

In a scenario where there is not much discussion on live donor transplant (LDT), the one-day master class workshop on LDT documentation was so well planned for intense discussion and I think it severed the purpose with quality discussion, argument and counter-argument that led to much better clarity on the documentation and forms that we use on a day-to-day basis.

Thank you for taking up such important topics and I wish such kind of discussion to continue to bring in clarity on the subject.

Congratulations and best wishes.

I had an incredibly informative and engaging session, during which I gained valuable insights into the intricacies of documentation, and I must say, I was thoroughly enthusiastic about the entire experience, which was a hookup call to discuss the details of my transplant coordination.

I really thank Dr. Sunil shroff and other MOHAN Foundation staff for this wonderful gesture.
