Message from the
Nodal Officer cum Director – SOTTO, GOA

Prof. Dr. Shivanand Bandekar

(DEAN / Medical Superintendent Goa Medical College & Hospital)

It is with immense pride we announce that SOTTO (State Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation) is being established in Goa as a Government of Goa – India initiative under the theme of NAVE JIVIT – facilitating the journey from an organ failure to a fighter and survivor. This programme aims to give new life and renewed hope to patients of end stage organ failure.

In order to facilitate the set up and functioning of SOTTO a Web portal has been designed which will bring about transparency and will also enable the Public to benefit from and also volunteer to be a part of this programme.

As the Dean of Goa Medical College and Hospital I would like to appreciate all the medical fraternity as well as other professionals of this college and hospital working as one united family supporting the Goa Medical College as one of the recognized authorized centres in Goa providing organ & Tissue transplant facilities.

As the Nodal Officer for SOTTO-Goa I strongly encourage every Goan to come forth and pledge to us with a selfless and kind heart and register as a donor and be a Ray of Light to the needy.
