JSS Medical College body donation Program was established in the year 1996 with a view to help the individuals who have a desire to donate their body to the medical Institutions for teaching and research purpose.
We accept the bodies irrespective of the race, age, sex or caste of the individuals who have registered, died due to natural cause and information through their first-degree relatives or legally authorised person in his/her family.
The department is active in effective and meaningful use of the donated bodies for various cadaveric workshops for post-graduate and skills training in surgical and allied disciplines, apart from teaching the MBBS students through dissection. The information regarding body
donation program is reached to the public domain through public meetings, media like newspapers, radio, TV, Suttur Jutra etc.
