Pune: Organ Donation Pledge Can Now Be Taken Online, ZTCC Issues QR Code
Pune, 19th June 2021: The Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC), Pune, a body that helps in organ donation, has issued a QR code to enable easy and quick access for people to pledge the donation of an organ.
“Due to the pandemic, all awareness programmes are now online. When the awareness programmes were offline, we had about 500 organ donation pledges every year. However, this year, only 250 such pledges have come to us. Via this pledge, people who wish to donate their organs after their deaths can enrol with us. We also have a website which has a form number 7 for the same,” said Arti Gokhale, ZTCC Pune coordinator.

She claimed that the idea of a QR code would encourage more volunteers to enrol and to spread awareness about organ donation.
“This QR code makes it easier to enrol for donation. Once you scan the QR code, it directly takes you to the website where you can fill the form number 7. The volunteers have to simply fill in their details, like name, address, blood group and organs they wish to donate after their death,” said Gokhale.
