ORGAN India, in its role as the Official Member Organization from India for the World Transplant Games, has partnered with the Manav Rachna Sports Science Institute and Dr. O. P. Bhalla Foundation to host a badminton and football training camp for transplant athletes who are hoping to participate at the World Transplant Games 2023.
India has traditionally been known as a strong force in badminton. While players such as P. V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal have become household names, what is not so widely known is that our athletes have been bringing in medals at the World Transplant Games since 2011. Athletes like Balveer Singh, Dharmendra Soti and Davies Jose Kollanur have been some of the most prolific medal winners at the World Transplant Games over the last decade. These athletes, once on the brink of disability and death due to illness, received the gift of organ transplant and today live healthy and active lives.
Gearing up for victory! 19 transplanted athletes gathered at the Manav Rachna Sports Science Center from 1-5 August to for a training camp to prepare for their upcoming participation at World Transplant Games at Perth 2023. Coming back from the brink of death, these athletes who have had heart, kidney and liver transplants were eager to hone their skills to be able to win medals for India at a Global Platform!

We are delighted to have partnered with the Dr. OP Bhalla Foundation and to have been able to provide our athletes with the tools they need to do our country proud at the Games.
