The country's premier medical institute AIIMS plans to take the help of social networking site Facebook to encourage voluntary organ donations.
The Organ Retrieval Banking Organisation at AIIMS, the country's nodal centre engaged in encouraging organ donation, is planning to join Facebook in order to create awareness about it, Dr Arti Vij, chief of Organ Retrieval Banking Organisation at AIIMS said.
“We are still weighing the pros and cons of it. Facebook is a good platform to spread the message of voluntary organ donation to the masses. Once we have assessed everything, we will decide the day,” she said.
