Body donors make an incredibly courageous decision. That is one of the reasons why we wanted to build a memorial to them.
A new memorial has been erected at Brno's Central Cemetery. It is dedicated to voluntary body donors, whose bodies are used after their death to teach medical students and to further the expertise of experienced professionals. Every year, hundreds of students of general medicine, dentistry, and non-medical fields graduate from the anatomy program at Masaryk University's Faculty of Medicine. In addition, the Institute of Anatomy organizes dozens of professional courses each year. None of this would be possible without the generous decision of body donors.
