Hyderabad: Family members of a 30-year-old software employee from Hyderabad, Jaideep Ramavath Deeplal, who was declared as brain dead, have donated the organs of the deceased to needy patients, as part of the State-run Jeevandan organ donation initiative.

A resident of Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, LB Nagar, Jaideep Ramavath was travelling on his two-wheeler on November 8 when he lost control of his bike and fell down. In the accident, he received grievous injuries and was rushed to Yashoda Hospitals, Malakpet.

The attending team of care-givers had put Jaideep under critical care and provided intensive care for 72 hours. However, the medical condition of Jaideep did not improve, forcing the treating neuro-physicians team to declare him as brain dead due to Road Traffic Accident (RTA) with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) on November 11.

The Jeevandan volunteers and counsellors from the hospital grief-counselled the family members of Jaideep, including his father Ramavath Deeplal, mother Jayalaxmi Deeplal and brother Pradeep Ramavath Deeplal, following which they agreed to donate the organs of the brain dead victim. The hospital surgeons retrieved two kidneys and one liver and sent them to other transplant centres for organ transplantation for needy patients, based on the organ donation guidelines of Jeevandan.
