Feedback

“An excellent professionally prepared course by MOHAN Foundation. Extremely informative. Educated everything about organ donation and transplant procedures.  My knowledge about organ donation has improved considerably. I wholeheartedly wish to MOHAN Foundation for offering this course.” - Mr. ARUNRAJ, Puducherry

“The course proved to be helpful in getting both theoretical and practical knowledge about organ donation, organ transplants and the role of coordinators

The distribution of topics and content was well planned. I’m from a Non-medical field but the sessions by transplant doctors are at par excellence.

Thanks to MOHAN Foundation and team to this wonderful course and hope it will be a stepping stone in my career as Transplant coordinator.” - Mrs. VEENA, Gujarat
