Voluntary Body Donation (MOKSHA)

Body donation is a generous and unselfish act for those who wish to be useful to the living after death (let the “dead teaches the living”). The department of Anatomy has started the body donor registry since 2003. Many voluntary donors have registered; very few have donated their bodies after death. The institute has named the voluntary body donation program as MOKSHA and initiated delivering awareness program in Puducherry and Cuddalore (Tamil Nadu) during the early months of 2013.

To reach the village people we approached the N.G.O’s of Puducherry and Tamil Nadu such as Vasavi Club International, Rotary Club, Lions Club International, and Egai friend’s voluntary services. Under the full support and motivation from the hospital, management has kindly agreed to provide Master Health Check-up for all those who registered their name under MOKSHA once in a year free of charge and the family members of body donors shall be treated fully free of cost for any medical and surgical ailments. Every year on 15^th August Independence Day, the family members of MOKSHA body donor and all the voluntary members registered under MOKSHA scheme are felicitated and honoured for their noble gesture.

The Department of Anatomy is maintaining the Donor Registry. Once a voluntary donor gives his consent for VBDP, the registered individual will be issued a Donor Card –MOKSHA. The registration form for VBDP is available in the Anatomy Department and with Public Relation Officer. Till date, the Department of Anatomy has registered 342 voluntary body donors and 169 bodies have been received under this VBDP –MOKSHA.
