Obstacles if any and strategies to overcome them
Very few. Some sentimental feelings of relatives, some of the family members not very comfortable for donation cause inconvenience & delay in the process. This is overcome by counselling & discussion to convince them the advantages of body donation with examples of previous donors, which in majority of cases solves the problem.
The availability of storage space for donated cadavers. New metal tanks were procured and the space for storage tanks was extended to accommodate more tanks
Impact of Practice
The JSS Body Donation Association working since 21 years and overwhelming response was obtained from public and this is depicted by number of registered and donated bodies.
Number of registered bodies: 3542
Number of donated bodies:468
Number of schools visited to museum: 10 per year
Number of external activities organised from BDA: 6 programs per year
Number of cadaver skills workshops organised: 2 per year
The family members & friends are extremely happy about the whole procedure & in turn motivate other to register for a good cause and this led to increase in number of registrations.
