A 19-year-old from Karnataka became a beacon of hope for six patients after his family decided to donate his organs posthumously. The young man's life ended tragically after a bike accident led to a severe brain hemorrhage and ultimately, a brain-dead diagnosis by a medical panel.
Despite their overwhelming grief, the family of Darshan from Chikka Mandya village made the heart-wrenching yet noble choice to donate his organs. With the assistance of the jeevasaarthakate organ donation team, his liver, kidneys, heart valves, and other organs were successfully transplanted into recipients.
Medical professionals at BMCRI and the Trauma and Emergency Care Centre commended the family's incredible generosity, noting the life-saving impact of their selfless decision. 'We are deeply grateful for their contribution to society in such a difficult time,' said Dr. Deepak, supporting the family's cause.
