Basic concepts of Skin Donation
By Gaurang Damani (on behalf of SUNDAY FRIENDS)
-
Just as donation of eyes after death has been
accepted as a ritual in many families the concept of donation of
skin from both thighs can result into saving of life of a severely
burnt patient.
-
After helping Sion Hospital to establish first of its
kind Skin Bank in Mumbai, 'Sunday Friends' has taken up this
challenge educating and motivating people to donate skin after
death.
-
More than 360 families have taken interest and
donated skin post-death of their near ones (as of October 2011).
-
Procedure is very simple. Simply contact Sunday Friends who in turn
arranges for skin donation at Hospital/ residence. Harvesting of
skin does not take more than 30 minutes. Not a single drop of blood
comes out and the wound is bandaged.
-
Contact info for Skin Donation: 9820075645,
9821119451, 9821523076.
Thanks and Regards,
