Dr Sunil Shroff, Founder of Mohan Foundation NGO stated, “For the last 18 years we have promoted the concept of organ donation and have been in the forefront of this programme. Our NGO has taken up this cause and more than 70 per cent of the organ donation happens through our trained coordinators. It has become increasingly important for us to become aware of the benefits of organ donation and come away from the myths attached to the same.”
