With over 20 lives lost every day due to a lack of organ donors, the need for awareness is more urgent than ever. On 15th Indian Organ Donation Day<\/strong>, SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Bareilly<\/strong> launched a dynamic awareness campaign under the theme \u2018Angdaan \u2013 Jeevan Sanjeevani Abhiyan\u2019,<\/strong> in collaboration with NOTTO (National Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spearheaded by Departments of Community Medicine, Ophthalmology, Nephrology<\/strong> & Transfusion Medicine<\/strong>, the initiative went beyond education, urging people to pledge & save lives.<\/p>\n

The campaign featured awareness talks & grassroots drives at Dhaura Tanda\u2019s Urban (UHTC) <\/strong>and Rural Health & Training Centres (RHTC).<\/strong> At UHTC, Dr Priyanka, Dr RC Gupta, Dr Payal & MBBS interns addressed 45+ participants, busting myths around organ donation. At RHTC, Dr Ruchi Arun, Dr Preeti, and team led a heartfelt conversation with villagers on leaving behind a legacy of compassion.<\/p>\n

A Pledge Drive at SRMS Vardaan Centre<\/strong>, led by Dr Rupali Gupta<\/strong> (Assistant Professor, Community Medicine), John (PRO), and interns guided OPD patients through the pledge process on NOTTO website, turning awareness into action. Meanwhile, SRMS Mobile Telemedicine Bus<\/strong> reached Nawabganj, where interns conducted community sessions using simple, relatable examples to demystify donation. In adopted village of Atapatti Janubi<\/strong>, a health camp under Dr Rupali\u2019s supervision saw 239 patients, 11 RBS tests & digital pledge promotions to motivate people to donate organs.<\/p>\n

The campaign concluded with a powerful street play<\/strong> by MBBS Batch 2023<\/strong>, performed in Atapatti Janubi, breaking myths & fears around organ donation, reinforcing one truth, \u201cEvery pledge is a second chance at life.\u201d<\/p>\n
