Jhansi Medical College Anaesthesiologist donates mother's body to Anatomy department
"The body, after the processes of embalming, will be kept in the anatomy department for the study purpose. It was indeed a noble and strong step taken by the family members which will set an example for everyone," Dr Senger said.
Jhansi: In a commendable move, a doctor working at the Jhansi medical college has donated his mother's body to the institute following her death for study purposes of anatomy department students.
Dr Anshul Jain, aged 70, a professor in the anaesthesia department in Jhansi, who was also the former vice principal of the medical college and presently the director of the government paramedical college, lost his mother Saroj Jain, on Sunday.
He and his father, Dilip Bhushan Jain, also a doctor decided to donate her body by a wish expressed by Saroj.

Anshul told reporters that a few years ago, his mother had developed cardiac problems and the doctors had suggested a bypass surgery which she had refused.
This she did because she had already decided on the donation of her body without any cuts.
After her death, the rituals took place inside the medical college campus and the body was handed over to the principal, Dr Narendra Singh Senger.
"The body, after the processes of embalming, will be kept in the anatomy department for the study purpose. It was indeed a noble and strong step taken by the family members which will set an example for everyone," Dr Senger said.
This is the second such incident in which a body has been donated to the medical college here.
A few years ago, the body of Dinesh Bains, a journalist, was also donated similarly by his kin as per the wish of the deceased.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that almost five lakh Indians face organ failure every year with only 2-3 percent receiving a life-saving transplant, according to data shared during a programme hosted in Delhi to raise awareness on organ donation.
