INDIA –Delhi ( 1-3 September 2016)

We have been traveling to India this year and visiting several centres which perform organ transplantation. The Spanish Embassy in Delhi kindly gave us their support  and joined us to these visits. The purpose of the hospital visits we performed was to analyze what are the needs in terms of organ donation, what are the situations and how can TPM-DTI support the development of these centres. Those are MEDANTA Medicity, APOLLO Hospitals and FORTIS Healthcare.  Afterwards we were invited as speakers to the National Summit on Best Practices in Organ and Tissue Donation organized by the Fortis Memorial Research Institute.

We were also invited to the “Wall of Tribute” to the donors and their families celebration. It was a really interesting event,  there were a lot of emotions and we felt very close  to the donor families in India as well we do here in Barcelona, Spain, or any  other part of the world – feeling is the same. Our gratitude to them. As a  symbol of this respect, we lit the candle of the prayers and the freedom, which is a  common ceremony in India.

Also in the main entrance of  the Apollo Hospital  there is the wall of honor where the names of the donors have a respect and a gratitude tribute. That was also a very well attended event together with all the representatives from all India.
