Bengaluru: Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) has launched a month-long campaign to raise awareness about organ donation. The initiative, titled DHATHRU, Donating Humanity and Transplanting Hope, was officially inaugurated on Friday by the Vice-Chancellor of RGUHS, Dr. Bhagawan B C.
The campaign began with 336 staff members of the university coming together on a single platform to voluntarily take the organ donation pledge. By personally pledging to donate his organs, Dr. Bhagawan B C formally launched the campaign.
Addressing the gathering, the Vice-Chancellor said, “As members of the medical profession, we understand the value and purpose of saving lives. I would like to remind you of this responsibility and moral duty.”
He further emphasized the role of the healthcare fraternity in inspiring the larger society to take up the cause. “As part of this mission, we should lead by example by pledging to donate organs. With your support, this campaign can become a model initiative across the nation. One organ donor can save up to eight lives. Each one of us must commit to turning this noble intention into reality,” he said.
The campaign will run until September 30, 2025, and is aimed at encouraging not only university staff but also students of RGUHS and its affiliated colleges to take the pledge.
The launch event was attended by the Deans, Senate, Syndicate, and Academic Council members of the university.
