[9/24, 8:31 AM] Thanga Prabhu: https://www.indiatoday.in/
[9/24, 8:36 AM] Thanga Prabhu: Pledged my organs and body so that after I am done with my business on this earth, my body can be used to improve atleast 7 lives!
It can't get easier than this.
It's free and also painless.
DM me if you need to know more. Also check out https://notto.mohfw.gov.in/
[9/24, 8:39 AM] Thanga Prabhu: My mbbs mate died after suffering stroke. Liver and kidneys were donated, hence 3 people live today. Very noble gesture. I have also pledged to donate. Key is for family and friends to know ones decision. They are the ones who refuse, causing hindrance.

A few minutes of silence for past thwarted 'Make in India' initiative in this direction?:
Quote:
Dhaniram Baruah is an Assamese heart surgeon known for his work in the field of xenotransplantation.
He is popularly known as India's Pig Heart Doctor.[1]
On 1 January 1997, he became the first heart surgeon in the world to transplant a pig's heart in a human body.[2]
Although the recipient died subsequently, it was a precursor to the first successful pig-to-human heart transplant performed 25 years later by Bartley P. Griffith in January 2022.[3]
While Griffith used a genetically modified pig's heart, Barua had transplanted a normal pig heart.[4]
Barua is also the founder of Dr Dhaniram Baruah Heart Institute & Research Centre.[5] He can only communicate through hand gestures after a brain stroke left him unable to speak.[6]

[9/24, 10:50 AM] Thanga Prabhu: Discussing with my lung transplant surgeon colleague learnt today literally whole body is usable post death. Organs harvestable: eyes, heart, lungs, liver, intestines, kidneys, skin - is the largest organ, arms below elbow, pancreas, bones. Rest is donated for medical students to dissect and learn anatomy. After academic year is over, human remains are blessed, prayers offered to God and buried with reverence. We as 1st year med students were taught: Cadaver - your greatest teacher. Ever indebted to all those unknown souls who we got to learn about human body on. Today when we suture or operate...it is their magnanimity to start with.
[9/24, 10:51 AM] SM : 🙏🏽 To Dhaniram Baruah! As a society we failed to support him. He was right in principle and many live may have been saved or even given temporary reprieve if India was with him.
[9/24, 10:59 AM] Rakesh Biswas: I've been able to leverage this certificate even before my death by getting good access to the anatomy labs where we could launch a udhc health education project to make public comfortable with human anatomy as a subsequent stepping stone to gathering healthcare knowledge through contextual 'real time point of care anatomy' learning where we would take the patient to the dead body and point out to them their organ involved and it's anatomical ramifications! Meeting the cadaver for the first time too had it's own advantages that we elucidated further here👇
In subsequent projects and workplaces I wasn't able to leverage a medical college, government recognized for organ transplantation toward cadaveric transplants (the same that you all just signed up for) only because of very low levels of awareness that refused us any kind of breakthrough in the last 6 years!
However in their anatomy dissecting lab, I find one of the past faculty now exhibited as a cadaver from which students learn and realize that one day most of us would be that even after our organs live in different next gen humans!
[9/24, 10:59 AM] Thanga Prabhu: In Canada and UK driving license has this info on the card. Very smart. Trick is to keep it on oneself and clearly declare intention to close relatives. Especially next of kin.
[9/24, 11:02 AM] Rakesh Biswas: They are also very smart when it comes to learning from their dead with very high rates of pathological autopsies in most of their medical colleges, while in India it's a trickle in comparison even in some of it's elite but globally average medical colleges such as PGI Chandigarh etc
[9/24, 11:07 AM] Thanga Prabhu: True. Our Death Audit meetings revealed a lot of gaps in the care process. It used to be run as a scientific activity with 0 blame game and a fact finding mission. Dean ensured it didn't deteriorate into a thoo-thoo mei-mei.
[9/24, 11:08 AM] Rakesh Biswas: In India it's only verbal autopsy that rules!
[9/24, 11:19 AM] SM : This has to be the norm. Our culture of reconciliation and bettering lives has been annihilated. We have to rebuild the culture.
[9/24, 11:42 AM] Avinash Gupta: I am going to release our book in print (worldwide delivery) on November 1.
