Thane Regional Mental Hospital Spearheads Organ Donation Awareness Campaign

A hospital in Thane wanted to teach people about organ donation.

Organ donation means giving part of your body to help a sick person after you pass away.

The hospital held special programs during a two-week event called Organ Donation Fortnight.

Doctors, nurses, patients, visitors, and students all made a promise to donate their organs.

People could sign up instantly by scanning a QR code with their phones.

Posters and displays helped explain the legal and medical facts about organ donation.

The hospital also wanted to show that people with mental health conditions can contribute to society just like anyone else.

A doctor said a single decision to donate can give new life to many patients in critical need.

The campaign is called 'Jug Jug Jio Abhiyan' and comes from the Maharashtra Public Health Department.
