Body Donation at Geetanjali Hospital

A body donation ceremony was held at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur, in memory of the late Shri Bhagwati Lal Ji Porwal Totawat. Geetanjali Hospital offers heartfelt tribute to this noble act and service spirit.

The body donation was made according to the wishes of Shri Bhagwati Lal Ji’s son, Shri Ankit Porwal (GM Pharmacy), who is employed at Geetanjali Hospital, and his family. Ankit Ji shared that his father believed that while people can be of use during their lifetime, it is equally important for the body to be of use after death, so that future doctors can conduct research and benefit society. This belief and responsibility are essential, he said.

On this occasion, the Executive Director, Shri Ankit Agarwal, CEO, Shri Rishi Kapoor, CFO, Shri Roshan Jain, CHRO, Dr. Rajeev Pandya, DGM of Sales and Marketing, Shri Kalpesh Chand Rajbar, Shri Vinod Sharma, Shri Amit Bansal, Shri Sunil Verma, Shri Narayan Agarwal, Shri Arjun Joshi, along with faculty members from Geetanjali University and the donor’s family, were present and paid their respectful tributes.
