PA, USTanmay Girish Lal received his Master of Surgery degree from the University of Bombay and completed his residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He's a popular lecturer in the field of organ transplant and has contributed to many research papers and books. He served as assistant professor of surgery at Case Western Reserve University and Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and was a featured speaker at the 2014 Annual Fellows Conference in Advances in Organ Transplantation.

"Today there are more than 120,000 people desperately waiting for that one phone call that can literally save their life," says transplant surgeon Tanmay Lal, "yet only 6,000 of them will be lucky enough to get that much-needed organ to keep them alive."
Dr. Tanmay Lal wants to revolutionize the field of organ transplantation and eliminate the waiting list of thousands of desperate patients waiting to receive an organ that a donor has generously consented to donate.
Watching and hearing about hundreds of patients who were listed for a transplant, only to die waiting for one to become available, spurred Dr. Lal to begin spreading his message of organ donation by establishing a website and an organization called Save 8. "This small entity has big plans: to wipe out the transplant waiting list by spreading the message of organ donation to all Americans," says Dr. Lal. "People need to be educated on what organ donation is all about. We need to remove the myths and misinformation surrounding this process so that they can one day become heroes and provide the gift of life to a desperate individual who is waiting for a life-saving transplant."
Save 8 also aims to morph into a non-profit organization where patients with organ failure can be helped with cutting-edge research and resources in the field of organ transplantation.
If your group is looking for a cause to serve humanity, spreading the word about how to become an organ donor is a deeply fulfilling project. You'll learn how to separate the facts from the myths about organ donation and get an inside look at how the process works to save lives—and possibly, one day, your own!
You'll leave Dr. Lal's uplifting talk knowing how you and your group can help this life-saving cause and how, by choosing to become a donor yourself, you can give the gift of life to others.
