MOHAN Foundation is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization started to promote organ donation in 1997 in Chennai by philanthropists and medical professionals led by Dr. Sunil Shroff. It is a registered NGO with Income Tax exemption under Section 80G and 35AC and has offices in Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Chandigarh, Nagpur, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bengaluru and USA. MOHAN Foundation was started by a group of like-minded and concerned medical and non-medical professionals committed to increasing the reach of the Transplantation of Human Organs Act. The Government of India passed this act in 1994 to broaden the concept of organ donation and stop commercial dealings in organs, especially kidneys. It is now possible to not only donate one’s eyes, but also other vital organs like the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas and kidneys. The Foundation envisages accomplishing this mission through the following objectives: 1) To create public awareness among a cross-section of the population 2) To train health care professionals in transplant coordination 3) To counsel families of "brain dead" victims to donate their loved ones' organs 4) To create a computerized network for logistic support for organ donation in hospitals and the utilization of organs 5) To liaise with Government (State and Central) to pass favorable legislation that will help increase organ donations in India. 6) Networking with other organ procuring organizations in the country 7) Raising resources to promote organ donation efficiently MOHAN Foundation comprises four core groups that carry out the different activities of the foundation. These groups are: 1. Public Education for Organ Donation 2. Indian Transplant Newsletter (ITN) 3. Patient Support group (PSG) 4. Indian Network for Organ Sharing (INOS)
