Sunil Shroff is the managing trustee of a non-government and non-profit organisation called MOHAN Foundation[1][2][3] and is well known for his work in the field of deceased donation transplantation in India.[4][5] He has worked towards improving the deceased organ donation rate in India.[6][7][8][9]

Background

He was born in Sahibganj, Bihar and did his schooling from Kendriya Vidyalaya,Gill Nagar, Chennai. He did his under-graduate and post graduate medical education from Prince of Wales Medical College now called Patna Medical College and Hospital in 1982 and FRCS in 1986 from Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He worked in various hospitals in UK before joining as a lecturer first at the Institute of Urology and then at the Royal London Hospital in London from 1991 to 1995. He decided to return to India in 1995 and started the department of Urology and Renal Transplantation at the Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute.[10] Currently he is senior consultant at Madras Medical Mission Hospital in Chennai.

Career

Sunil Shroff is a urologist and transplant surgeon from India.[11] He was one of the first to publish his experience with the application of the holmium laser in urology from the Institute of Urology, London UK in collaboration with his mentor Graham Watson.[12][13] He is currently the Professor of Urology and Renal Transplantation at Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute (SRMC & RI) . He started the kidney transplantation programme at SRMC in 1995 and in 1996 implemented the deceased donation transplantation programme. SRMC & RI was one of the first few hospitals in India to have established such a programme.[14] He performed the first kidney transplant on an HIV positive patient in India and transplant of kidneys from cobra-bitten brain death victims.[15][16]

Social entrepreneur

Advanced Transplant Coordinators Workshop

As a founder trustee of MOHAN Foundation he has been actively promoting the concept of deceased donation after brain death since 1997.[17][18] Through the foundation he has worked for policy improvements and amendment of the law to ease deceased donation in India.[19] He has campaigned against organ commerce and believes that such activities which are reported widely by the media adversely affect public perception and acceptance of the deceased donation programme.[20][21]

Since 2002 he has also promoted the use of computer and information technology among doctors in India to make healthcare delivery more efficient, easily accessible and affordable. To achieve these objectives he has been instrumental in conducting conferences under the banner of ‘The Medical Computer Society of India’ called MEDITEL.[22][23][24] He is the chief editor of a health website called medindia.net.[25][26][27] that networks doctors and provides the public with health related information.[28]

Academic achievements

Shroff is president of The Nephrology, Urology and Transplantation Society of SAARC region for the years 2013 – 2015.[29] He is also the convener of the Indian Transplantation Registry under the agesis of the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation.[30][31]

He is the editor of Indian Transplant Newsletter, a publication that is published quarterly and keeps track of deceased donation activities in India since 1998.[32][33] He has over 40 publications in peer reviewed journals, has edited four books for paramedical staff and has written six chapters in medical books.

Other achievements

Shroff has been invited to international kidney forums, delivered orations in medical conference and has received awards for his work related to deceased donation transplantation in India. He was a member at the Amsterdam forum in 2004 on the Care of the Live Kidney Donor. The forum participants from more than 40 countries representing all continents formulated guidelines on living kidney donor and the meeting was hosted by the Transplanatation.[34] He delivered a speech in connection with Post-Centenary Platinum Jubilee Celebration of Madras Medical College in November 2009.[34]

He was recognised by the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation in Hyderabad in 2010 for his contribution to the Indian transplant national registry.[35] He was awarded the 2010 – Social Entrepreneur of the Year award from the TIE- The Indus Entrepreneur at Chennai.

He along with his colleagues from the transplant field organised a National Workshop of Transplant Coordinators in 2013 where a consensus document to implement the deceased donation programme in India was submitted to the Director General of Health Services of India.[36][37]
