Webinar on Organ Donation conducted for Adbhut Foundation from Indore, Madhya Pradesh |
On 19th November 2020, MOHAN Foundation was invited by Mr Siddharth Sharma representing Team Adbhut Foundation a group of Volunteers with the vision of selfless social service from Indore, Madhya Pradesh for giving awareness about Organ Donation. Dr Jimmy presented the concepts of Organ and tissue donation, types of death viz. Cardiac and Brain Death, the organs and tissues that can be donated. She highlighted that India had low organ donation rates in the world, primarily due to lack of awareness among the public as well as healthcare professionals. She also discussed the various myths and barriers in the minds of the general public, which can only be eliminated through education and sensitization. All queries asked by the audience were answered promptly by Dr Jimmy. Dr Jimmy spoke thereafter, inviting the participants to join MOHAN Foundation's internship and volunteering program. Details of Organ Donation Helpline No 1800 103 7100 was also shared. Around 10 NGO members attended the awareness session. Online link to the donor card was shared in order to enable the public to take pledge. We would like to thank Mr Siddharth Sharma founder of Adbhut Foundation for inviting us and supporting the cause of Organ Donation. |
