MOHAN Foundation, over the years, has been actively publishing empirical research and publications that aide in raising awareness and building a body of knowledge that can drive policy making in the field of organ donation and Transplantation.
Currently, there is not enough research available on organ donation and transplantation in the Indian context. Such research is key to identify, guide and assess the intervention areas, including policymaking, in this under-served area of healthcare.
MOHAN Foundation's flagship publication is the Indian Transplant Newsletter (ITN), which is being published thrice a year, since 1998, and includes contributions from medical and para medical professionals. The purpose of producing ITN is to provide the various professionals working in organ donation and transplantation with an opportunity to share and draw upon research, expert commentary and practical insights to enhance its reader's knowledge and understanding of various aspects of the field.
MOHAN Foundation strongly believes in promoting a research culture within the organisation and follows some of the best practices in initiating and maintaining a culture of research, with high importance to research integrity.
