The resource person of the awareness program was Ansu Sharma (IEC, SOTTO), who gave a PPT presentation about the functions of SOTTO in J&K and different types of organ donation and donors like liver, cornea, Kidney, deceased/dead donors. She also focused on Brain Stem Death (BSD) wherein vital organs are taken only after the person is declared Brain Stem dead.
