Question raised by participant are given below.

1)     What is the time duration for organ donation after brain death?

2)     Can a recipient become an organ donor?

3)     What is the process for eye donation?

4)     What is the age limit for organ donation?

20 participants attended  the program & 5 signed the pledge form and picked donor cards.

A participant said in the month of November he lost his uncle because of brain death at GMC hospital Nagpur, but he told before this they don’t know about deceased donation. If he knew then he could have donated his uncle’s organ.
