Mangalore Physiocon – 2026 : an International Physiotherapy Conference was held at Mangaluru on the 11th and 12th of April, 2026; at TMA Pai International Convention Centre. This historic conference witnessed 30+ eminent speakers listed from Asia; with more than 6000+ physiotherapists – the largest ever in Bharat. Dr U.T.Ifthikar Fareed – Chairperson, Mangalore Physiocon 2026 spearheaded this initiative supported by South Kanara Physiotherapy Teacher’s Association ®️ – which was powered by Kanachur Islamic Education Trust ®️ and other esteemed Institutions around the state of Karnataka. Dr Suhail and his team of able physio leaders ensured that the ‘Physio Week’ was planned smoothly.

Rtn Dr Rohan S. Monis – Chief Administrative Officer, Kanachur Hospital & Research Centre & Medical Director, Rotary Club of Organ Donation International was invited as an eminent speaker for this colossal conference on ‘Organ Donation – Turning Tragedy into Triumph’. It is podiums like these where one can choose to create awareness and coach learned communities on the humane movement that the society needs to see.

Dr Monis began his session with a quote from John Bunyan “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” He showed the present donor crisis situation in our country and put up a statistical difference between Bharat and Spain – which was a stark comparative reality staring at us. We, a population of over 1.4 billion people aren’t able to create a difference in the lives in our surroundings : because Bharat had a donor count of <1 donor / million population while Spain was at >50 donors / million population. To bring clarity on the types of Donations and the Organs / Tissues that can be harvested in accordance with THOTA act are:
● Living Donor : can donate one of his Kidneys, a part of his Liver, a part of Lungs, Intestine and also Pancreas in India.
● Deceased Donor :
○ Circulatory Death : Tissues (Cornea, Tendons, Heart Valves, Veins, Ligaments, Bones, Skin) can be donated.
○ Brain Dead : Organs (Lung, Heart, Liver, Kidneys, Pancreas & Intestines) and Tissues (Cornea, Tendons, Heart Valves, Veins, Ligaments, Bones, Skin) can be donated.
To give the physiotherapists a real time update from the statistical archives from NOTTO, MOHFW – GOI, Dr Monis shared that :

• The number of transplants in the country has seen a fourfold increase from less than 5 thousand in 2013 to nearly 20 thousand in 2025
• Around 18% of transplants currently being performed with organs donated from deceased donors
• More than 4.8 lakh citizens registered to donate organs and tissues after death through a Aadhaar based verification system, since 17 September 2023
• India leads the world in hands transplants and performs a greater number of hand transplants than any other country

AS PHYSICAL THERAPISTS ‘ORGAN DONATION’ IS AN ADVOCACY THEY SHOULD TAKE UP AND CREATE AWARENESS IN THEIR ENVIRONMENTS.

Dr Monis beautifully elucidated on WHY our PHYSIO experts can be Organ Donation Health Advocates. As Physio’s their spheres of influence are expressed over Patient, Family, Community and The Medical Ecosystem. With an understanding of the need for prevention of Organ Failure and the need to help the debilitated ones; our Physio’s can be trendsetters too. Primarily,

• They are Touch Points in the community and become trusted information banks.
• They have Long Therapeutic Relationships with their patients.
• During Rehabilitation proximity with the family develops.
• Their expertise is trusted thus defining credibility without fear.

A Medical Update highlight was expressed on Xenotransplantation where Animal Organs are used in Clinical and Compassionate-use cases. The Pig’s organs have a close genetic make up to our human organs and a series of transplants using the pig’s Kidney, Heart and Liver have proved possible with scientific advances and research is still going on from 2024 in the USA.

Requesting the large delegation of Physiotherapists to take this a movement by :

• Partnering With Key Institutions : Ensures a clear progression from unawareness, to understanding, to positive attitude, to action (registering), and finally to advocacy.
• Building Knowledge and Dispelling Myths / Superstitions : Outreach programs provide accurate information and help undo wrong thought processes.
• Reaching People Where They Are : Community-based programs bring the conversation to places people already trust i.e. schools, religious institutions, community centers and local events.
• Leveraging Personal Stories : Programs that feature donor families and transplant recipients put a human face on these humane life saving issues.
• Engaging Underrepresented Communities : Certain ethnic and racial groups are disproportionately represented on transplant waiting lists, yet have historically lower donor registration rates — often due to cultural concerns.
• Normalizing the Conversation : Organ donation is closely tied to discussions about death and dying, which many cultures find uncomfortable. Regular outreach helps normalize these conversations, making it easier for people to talk about their wishes with family members. This matters because family consent is often a critical factor in whether donation actually proceeds, even when someone is a registered donor.
• Creating a Multiplier Effect : When community members are educated and engaged, they become informal ambassadors.

Dr Monis encouraged the Physio Experts to take the NOTTO pledge (using the QR code displayed on the presentation screen – https://notto.abdm.gov.in/) and to be a miracle in life. This session encouraged the Physio Experts to think in another dimension and ensure life happens even after we leave for our heavenly abode.

Donate Life – Be an Organ Donor

Team formation and role creation are the starting points of wealth generation | When people come together with clarity and purpose, even small efforts can grow into meaningful opportunities | Global TV

NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044

Every journey begins with a moment. A moment of thought, a moment of realization, a moment where something shifts within. These moments are powerful, but by themselves, they do not create change. They pass, they fade, and often they are forgotten.

What makes the difference is what follows the moment.

This is where the 3M Revolution begins. Moments create awareness. Movements create action. Momentum creates transformation. This simple progression is the foundation of a new way of thinking about growth, careers, and opportunity creation.

In today’s world, people are exposed to ideas, inspiration, and possibilities every day. Yet, very few convert these moments into action. The gap between thinking and doing remains wide. Closing this gap is the key to unlocking potential at the individual and community level.

Movement does not require perfection. It requires willingness. A small step taken at the right time can change direction. A simple action like joining a group, forming a team, or contributing to an initiative can begin the journey. These actions may appear small, but they are the starting points of something much larger.

When individuals begin to move, they begin to connect. When they connect, they create energy. And when this energy is directed, it becomes progress. This is the power of collective movement.

One person taking action is a beginning. But when people come together with shared intent, their efforts multiply. What was once an individual effort becomes a collaborative force. This is how communities grow and how systems begin to take shape.

At the center of this transformation lies a simple but powerful principle. Team formation and role creation are the beginning of wealth generation. Without teams, efforts remain scattered. Without roles, participation remains unclear. When both come together, structure is created, and structure leads to outcomes.

This is where the 3M Revolution becomes practical.

We invite you to take a simple but meaningful step. Can you form a team of five Resident Editors to collaborate and work with Global TV? This is not just a task. It is an opportunity to build a model of engagement that connects experience with energy and purpose with action.

We are especially looking for retired couples who are seeking meaningful ways to stay active and contribute. Their experience, stability, and perspective make them ideal for guiding and mentoring others. In a time when many are looking for purpose beyond routine, this becomes a powerful avenue.

A Resident Editor plays a key role in this system. Each one mentors five youngsters, creating a direct link between generations. This is not about formal teaching. It is about sharing, guiding, and supporting through real-life experience.

The role itself is simple and human-centered. A Resident Editor should be able to offer good hospitality, maintain a welcoming environment, and demonstrate strong housekeeping abilities. A smiling face and a positive attitude can make a significant difference in building trust and connection.

When five Resident Editors come together, they form a strong local unit. When each of them mentors five youngsters, the network expands quickly. What begins as a small team becomes a structured and scalable model.

This is how movement turns into momentum.

As more teams are formed, more people are engaged. As more people are engaged, more opportunities are created. This creates a cycle where participation leads to growth, and growth leads to further participation.

There is also a clear value for those who take initiative. By forming a team of five Resident Editors, you will receive ten percent of the revenue generated through each team. This ensures that the effort is not only meaningful but also rewarding.

This is where economic value meets social contribution.

The 3M Revolution is not built on complex systems. It is built on simple, repeatable actions. Identify people. Form teams. Create roles. Support engagement. Repeat the process across places.

Momentum is not created in a single step. It is built through consistent action. When small efforts are repeated across many individuals and locations, the combined impact becomes powerful.

This is how transformation happens at scale.

The difference between those who move forward and those who remain where they are comes down to one factor. Action. Not once, but repeatedly. It is easy to wait. It is easy to delay. But progress belongs to those who take the first step and continue moving.

Your movement is part of something larger.

A moment of thought can lead to a movement of action. A movement of action can create momentum. And momentum can transform individuals, communities, and entire districts.

This is the 3M Revolution.

• It begins with a moment.
• It grows with your movement.
• It becomes unstoppable with momentum.

Dear Friends,

Team formation and role creation are the starting points of wealth generation. When people come together with clarity and purpose, even small efforts can grow into meaningful opportunities.

Can you form a team of five Resident Editors to collaborate and work with Global TV? We are looking for retired couples who are seeking meaningful engagements and are willing to mentor youngsters while creating a positive and welcoming environment.

A Resident Editor should mentor five youngsters. All that is needed is a sense of hospitality, good housekeeping abilities, and a willingness to engage. A smiling face is always an added advantage.

You can form a team within your district or even beyond. Every team you build contributes to a growing network of collaboration and opportunity creation.

You will receive 10% of the revenue generated through each team, making this both a purposeful and rewarding initiative.
