Arunachal Pradesh Governor BD Mishra has advocated organ donation, saying that he himself has pledged to donate his organs to medical science.

Governor Mishra said this during a meeting with Guwahati (Assam)-based Zublee Foundation’s Director Amitabh Gohain and CEO Priyanka Borah at the Raj Bhavan on Monday.

“There is an urgent need for creating awareness amongst the people of the state about the need for organ donation,” he said, and called upon the people to “motivate and encourage more people towards organ donation in their life.”

“We should all come forward and be a part of this noble cause,” he said.

The governor emphasised on adopting the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 2011 Regulation, amended in 2014 for facilitating deceased organ donations and transplantation as an alternative option for the people of Arunachal Pradesh.

Borah said that organ donation and transplantation have been “one of the best alternatives to end stage organ failures.”

“Body organs such as the kidney, lungs, heart, liver, pancreas, skin tissues, bone tissues, and heart valves can be donated,” she said. 

It is to be mentioned that the Zublee Foundation is the first and the only Non-Governmental Organization in the entire North- East Region of India working to raise mass awareness and encourage people to support Deceased Organ Donation.

It was founded by renowned singer of Assam, Ms. Zublee Baruah and Co-Founded by Mr. Amitabh Gohain in the year 2013. The Foundation is based at Guwahati, Assam. The Organization’s vision is to dedicate itself to the advancement and/or dissemination of information regarding organ donation and its importance to the Society at large; with a vision to meet the shortage crisis of organs in the near future.
