On July 18, 2026, TRIOMPH, an initiative of MOHAN Foundation, successfully organized an informative and interactive webinar titled "Healthy Living After Transplant: What to Eat, What to Avoid and Why." The session was designed for kidney, liver, and heart transplant recipients, as well as their caregivers, with the objective of promoting healthy dietary habits and lifestyle practices essential for long-term transplant success.

The webinar was conducted by Ms. Zammurrud Patel, an experienced transplant dietitian, who delivered an engaging and highly informative session. She explained the importance of balanced nutrition after transplantation, food safety, hydration, weight management, medication-food interactions, and healthy lifestyle practices in a simple and practical manner. She also highlighted foods that should be avoided after transplantation, particularly those that may interfere with immunosuppressant medications or increase the risk of infections.

The entire event was coordinated by Ms. Jaya Jairam, Director, MOHAN Foundation, whose leadership and meticulous planning ensured the smooth execution of the webinar and active participation from transplant recipients and caregivers across different regions.

The webinar witnessed an enthusiastic response, with 66 participants attending the live session.
