Abstract
Introduction: Body bequest is an informed and free act of giving one’s whole body after death for medical education and research. Hence a steady supply of cadavers is essential to meet that requirement. Methodology: Profile of 98 voluntarily donated / unclaimed cadavers were studied through a 11 year period at our institution. Age, sex and other data were noted and analysed statistically. Results: An increase in donation was observed from 2014 through 2016. More male (69.39%) cadavers were donated than females (30.61%). However both youngest (30 years) and oldest (95 years) cadavers were males. Conclusion: Present study is in those few studies which made an attempt towards creating a database of human bodies donated for medical education in medical college. Cadavers were generally elderly with the average age of 75.21 years. They were mainly utilised for dissection and donation to other institutions for the purpose of medical education.
