"world-organ-donation-day"

PIB Hyderabad organised a Varta media workshop on organ donation, highlighting common myths and medical facts. Experts stressed the importance of donor families, public awareness and voluntary pledges, while NOTTO’s Jug Jug Jiyo campaign seeks to encourage organ donation.

Due to availability of highly advanced heart, kidney and lung failure ECMO systems, trained staff, dedicated nursing, dietary, physiotherapy and rehab services, the outcomes of transplants have improved, Dr Pavan Gorukanti, Director, Yashoda Hospitals said.

On August 13 every year, World Organ Donation Day is observed to raise awareness on organ donation. 

The students had the opportunity to interact with Sunetra Chatterjee from Organ India who is also an organ recipient.
