RAG for organ donation

A new chapter of Rotary Action Group on Blood, Tissue and Organ Donation (BOD) was formed with Rajesh Mittal, charter president, RC Delhi Manthan and RID 3011 chair, Organ Donation, as its country coordinator.

Giving an overview of the group’s mission, Mittal said, “the new RAG will centralise and streamline resources related to BOD awareness through a unified platform. Our goal is that no one should die in India for want of organs.” The group will consolidate the resources through activities and projects, knowledge repository, and seek the help of experts and champions in legislative bodies. The RAG-BOD will encourage club and district-level activities to create awareness on organ donation through projects and initiatives.

A guide book for Rotarians on organ donation compiled by Hemali Ajmera was included in the Rotary zone institute kits given to the delegates and a website https://oneindiaonelaw.org/ offers information on the legal aspects of organ donation.
