However, with her prognosis looking very poor, the neuro-physician team declared Anjamma as brain dead on February 21 due to a stroke that caused internal bleeding.

Following a series of counselling sessions conducted by grief counsellors, the family members including her husband R Niranjan and son R Venkaiah decided to donate her organs to needy patients under Jeevandan organ donation initiative.

The surgeons retrieved three organs including two kidneys and a liver and sent them to other transplant centres on the basis of Jeevandan organ donation guidelines. The Jeevandan authorities thanked the family members of Anjamma for deciding to donate her organs for a noble cause.
