COAS and AWWA Pledge Organ Donation to Lead by Example
The Chief of the Army and his wife, who leads the Army Women Welfare Association, have promised to donate their organs.
This is happening at the Army Hospital and is meant to encourage more people to consider organ donation.
It's part of a larger effort by the Armed Forces to increase awareness about organ donation, and they are already doing a great job.
The Army is also recognizing the hard work of healthcare workers by giving them special cards.
This is to show how important organ donation is and to thank the people involved for their compassion.

The initiative aims to encourage organ donation awareness within the Armed Forces.
