Rotary Bangalore Midtown BMCRI Skin Bank at Victoria Hospital, stands as a beacon of hope and healing, symbolizing the collaborative spirit that can lead to transformative advancements in medical care. This state-of-the-art Skin Bank plays a pivotal role in saving burn victims with upto 60% burns and addressing post-burn deformities by providing a valuable resource for skin grafts. The bank operates as a repository of donated skin, allowing medical professionals to access a ready supply for reconstructive surgeries, microsurgery, and other procedures aimed at holistic care and restoring the quality of life for burn victims. The MOU between Rotary Bangalore Midtown, BMCRI Skin bank and National Burns Centre was renewed on 16th January 2025 at the office of BMCRI Dean.

The Skin bank committee is working on various awareness approaches with social media reach being one of the most important. In our continued efforts to raise awareness about skin donation, we are pleased to share that Mr. Dharmendra, a prominent social media influencer with a large following on Instagram and Facebook has lent his voice to support the cause. Also, in a deeply impactful gesture, Dr. Devi Shetty, one of India’s most respected cardiac surgeons and Ms. Sumalatha Ambarish, one of the topactors of South India have lent their voice to our cause through a powerful awareness video.

This collaboration not only adds immense credibility but also reinforces the urgency and compassion behind our message. We hope their words will inspire many to understand the importance of skin donation and help spread the word.
