Counselling Families for Hand Donation - Masterclass by NATCO and MOHAN Foundation
NATCO and MOHAN Foundation bring to you Masterclass
Sat, 27/05/2023 - 4.30 pmMasterclass On “Counselling Families for Hand Donation”
While many of us have been counseling for organ donation for years, how many of us have counseled a family for hand donation? Do we know what it involves? Are we sure what we need to tell the family while asking for a hand donation? Who will this donation help? Will the entire hand and forearm be transplanted? These are some of the questions that we may need answers to. Learn from Dr. Nilesh Kachhadiya (Assistant Professor, Civil Hospital Surat). Dr Kachhadiya has counselled over 200 families, during his time at Civil Hospital Ahmedabad and now at Civil Hospital Surat and has got consent in close to 150 of these in the last few years, including multiple hand donations. Participation in the Masterclass requires registration. Please click here to register: https://forms.gle/Mm3L26a6j6hAXkQp8
