Organizations Active in Service Work for 30 Years Raise Awareness About Body and Organ Donation in Society, Body Donation of Four Women Becomes Source of Inspiration for Society

In Surat, a positive change is being observed in society due to the efforts of organizations that have been working for years to create public awareness in the fields of eye donation, body donation, blood donation, and organ donation. Inspired by the Lok Drishti Eye Bank and the Red Cross Choryasi Branch, body donations of four women were received in a single day, which is considered an important initiative in the direction of service and humanity.

On this occasion, Dr. Prafullbhai Shiroya explained that body donation is extremely essential for medical college students to gain knowledge of the internal structure of the human body. He said that due to the continuous efforts of social organizations, religious groups, and social workers, people are now becoming aware of eye donation, body donation, and organ donation. Through this, while the visually impaired are receiving new light, medical students are getting the necessary support for their studies. Additionally, continuous blood donation campaigns are being conducted to address blood shortages in thalassemia, sickle cell, and tribal areas.
