Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri Om Birla, today inaugurated the 6th Annual Conference of the Indian Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation at Rajasthan International Centre, Jhalana, Jaipur. The three-day conference will provide doctors and experts from across the country an opportunity to deliberate on the important subject of organ transplantation.

Addressing the gathering, Shri Birla expressed happiness that new techniques and experiences of medical science are being shared through this platform, so that new ways of saving lives can be found.

Shri Birla noted that it is equally crucial to spread awareness about organ donation just as awareness about blood donation has increased in society over time, resulting in people voluntarily donating blood to fulfil the resolve of saving lives. He emphasised that organ donation has the potential to save numerous lives and offer hope to families experiencing the loss of loved ones.

Shri Birla emphasised that organ donation is not only a subject of medicine, but a resolve connected with human sensitivity and the spirit of service. He said, “I believe that with the expertise of doctors and the participation of society, organ donation will take the form of a mass movement and thousands of people will get a new life.”

Senior doctors, medical experts and delegates from across India participated in the conference.
