The Story in Brief
AIIMS Mangalagiri held a walkathon and flash mob on Thursday to promote organ donation awareness. The walkathon started at 6 am from the IPD-OPD Junction and ended at the auditorium. Executive director Ahanthem Santa Singh and faculty members participated, reports Deccan Chronicle.
The events aimed to clear misconceptions and encourage patients, attendants, students and the public to donate organs.
The Indian Opinion
The walkathon and flash mob suggest a campaign more focused on spectacle than substance. India's organ donation rate remains abysmally low at about one donor per million population. One must ask whether such events actually convert bystanders into donors, or merely create a pleasant photo-op. The real test will be a rise in registrations at AIIMS Mangalagiri's organ donation cell in the coming months.
