In order to set the ball rolling, Surabhi secretary, Kavita Agrawal announced that she would donate her body towards the cause of medical science.
In the course of her speech, Manisha observed, “A dead body was priceless for the medical world. A dead body, apart from general, practical medical studies, is very important for research work and for expert surgeons it is a proven essential prior to performing complicated surgeries.”
Other guests who spoke on the occasion stated that dead bodies were the work station for surgeons to perform intricate surgeries and thus enable the surgery experts to save thousands of lives. They stressed that lack of spontaneous body donors after their death was due to a lack of awareness.
