Hyderabad: Continuing the trend of government tertiary hospitals successfully taking up free organ transplantations, the Osmania General Hospital (OGH) surgeons conducted a cadaver donor liver transplant surgery on a 38-year-old daily wager Peddinti Murali from Siddipet district.
A resident of Mustiyala village, Murali came to OGH with liver failure and was advised that liver transplantation was the only treatment of choice. As luck would have it, the surgeons at Gandhi Hospital, had declared a trauma victim as brain dead last week and the donor liver was available, which was immediately transported to OGH.

This was possible due to the support from the State government, coordination between two different government hospitals and surgeons from multiple departments within the OGH. The entire liver transplant surgery was done free of cost,” OGH, Superintendent, Dr B Nagender said.
