Two families in Hyderabad have donated the organs of their brain-dead relatives, giving a new lease of life to seven patients. A 63-year-old housewife from Guntur and a 56-year-old driver from Medchal-Malkajgiri were declared brain dead earlier this month, after which their families consented to organ donation.
A 56-year-old social worker from Warangal, EV Satish Kumar, was declared brain dead following an intracranial bleed. His family consented to donate his liver and lungs under the State-run Jeevandan programme, helping save multiple lives.
The attending surgeons from the private hospital retrieved liver (01), kidneys (02) and corneas (02), a total of 5 organs, which were allocated to five needy patients based on organ donation guidelines
On April 18, the farmer, while travelling on his two-wheeler, suddenly slipped and in the process received serious injuries. Immediately, his family members admitted him to the local hospital in Miryalaguda and for better treatment later shifted him to a private hospital in Hyderabad
