In this revelatory conversation, urologist-turned-activist Dr Sunil Shroff joins AmickyCarol to show how one ordinary surgeon sparked an extraordinary movement—turning India’s reputation for illegal kidney trade into a blueprint for ethical, life-saving transplants. From London’s NHS wards to Chennai’s ICUs, Shroff proves that death can be recast as a celebration of life when families choose to give the gift of organs.

• Started as a urological surgeon in England’s NHS after low pay drove him from India
• Returned 12 years later to confront the country’s underground kidney market
• Pioneered India’s first deceased-donor protocols after the 1994 brain-death law
• Founded MOHAN Foundation to normalise donation through education and coordination
• Devised the “eyes-first” approach that eases families toward full organ consent
• Built hospital-sharing networks so every viable organ finds a recipient
• Trained transplant coordinators who secure 70-80 % consent from grieving families
• Partnered with the UK’s NHS to raise donor rates in minority communities
• Advises 46 Commonwealth nations on best practice in organ procurement
• Offers affordable online courses in transplant coordination, grief counselling and advocacy
• Left full-time surgery in 2015 to devote 70 % of his time to nonprofit work

“Death is not extinguishing light—it’s only putting out the lamp because dawn has come.”
 —Rabindranath Tagore, quoted by Dr Shroff

Take action: Register as an organ donor and tell your family. One donor can save up to eight lives.
