Two brain-loving patients in Delhi have given new hope to six seriously ill people through organ donation.
His families took a selfless decision to donate their organs, save life and focus on serious lack of organ donors of India.
A 46-year-old woman, who was in critical condition on March 19, was declared brain-dad on 27 March despite medical efforts. In a moment of deep grief, his family chose to donate his organs, gave new life to the needy people.
His two kidneys, two lungs and liver were successfully transplanted. A kidney and her liver were used for a patient at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, while her second kidney was sent to the Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram. Her lungs were taken to Kims hospitals, Secunderabad, Telangana, which so far helped another patient.
Fortis doctors praised the generosity of the family. “Even in moments of loss, people can leave behind a legacy of hope. This work of kindness will be remembered forever,” Dr. Rakesh Dua said, Senior Director of Neurosurgery and Hod said at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi.
Another case included 68 -year -old Veena Jain, who was admitted to Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket on 15 March. He was suffering from cerebral edema (inflammation in the brain) and was declared brain-urged on 26 March. His family decided to donate his organs, making three people waiting for transplantation.
Her liver was given to a 68-year-old patient suffering from end-phase liver disease, and a kidney was transplanted into a 60-year-old chronic kidney disease.
The second kidney was sent to Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj. The transplant took place at midnight with a team of top doctors, leading the procedures.
Dr. of Liver Transplant and Bile Sciences Dr. Subhash Gupta explained, “Donation of organ from a brain-dead person can change many lives. This work of generosity has given three patients a second chance in life.”
India faces a severe shortage of organ donors. According to the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO), about 1.5 million Indians require an organ transplant every year, but only a small fraction is obtained. Around 50,000 patients remain in the waiting list, many of which do not survive due to lack of available organs.
One of the biggest challenges is awareness. Many people do not know that organ donation is possible after the death of the brain. Hospitals can guide families through this process, but it requires public education and desire to donate, experts said, calling organ donation is a life -saving task.
