Prayagraj,

17 March (HS): A powerful awareness session on “Organ Donation in India &

Armed Forces Medical Services” was conducted by Military Hospital, Prayagraj.

The highly interactive session was delivered by Col (Dr) Sudeep Prakash, Senior

Advisor (Medicine) and Nephrologist, Command Hospital (CC).

The

session highlighted the critical gap between organ demand and availability in

India, dispelled common myths, and emphasized the importance of deceased organ

donation. Dr Prakash urged citizens to move beyond awareness to meaningful

action, describing organ donation as a social responsibility capable of saving

multiple lives. Reinforcing this message, he stated, “Don’t take your organs to

heaven — heaven knows we need them here.” The event inspired attendees to

pledge for organ donation and actively contribute towards saving lives,
