Mumbai, September 16, 2026 - In an unprecedented display of community spirit, Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai has set a new Guinness World Record by constructing the world's largest fibreglass sculpture of human organs. The colossal installation, named "Organ of Hope," stands at an impressive 15.59 metres tall and was unveiled during Ganeshotsav celebrations at Lalbaug.
The purpose of this monumental project is to promote organ donation awareness among thousands of devotees who gather for the festival. Supported by various healthcare and social organisations, including the Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre, MOHAN Foundation, and the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, the event aims to extend the conversation about organ donation beyond hospital settings and into the community.
Dr. Bipin Chevale, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Mumbai, highlighted that the initiative encourages visitors to engage in conversations about organ donation, address misconceptions, and discuss their wishes with family members. The sculpture is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for informed discussions and donation, highlighting the stark contrast between the 20,019 organ transplants conducted in India in 2025 and the 89,839 people currently on the national waiting list for major organs.
