28-year-old man from Bengaluru gives gift of life to eight people

28-year-old man from Bengaluru gives gift of life to eight people

The Hindu
Tuesday, April 8, 2025 3:38 AM GMT

The young man was rushed to the hospital with severe head injuries and oral bleeding in a critically unstable state. Upon arrival, a CT scan of the head revealed a rapidly enlarging blood clot in the brain. Despite immediate medical and intensive intervention, his condition continued to deteriorate. The patient was later declared brain dead.

At Fortis Hospital, Nagarbhavi, multiple organs were successfully retrieved and donated from a 28-year-old road accident victim who had passed away after a road accident.

The young man was rushed to the hospital with severe head injuries and oral bleeding in a critically unstable state. Upon arrival, a CT scan of the head revealed a rapidly enlarging blood clot in the brain. Despite immediate medical and intensive intervention, his condition continued to deteriorate. The patient was later declared brain dead.

“Amidst profound sorrow and grief, the family displayed courage by consenting to donate the organs of the loved one, which included his eyes, lungs, liver, heart valves and kidneys and Skin. The entire process of multi-organ retrieval took around five hours,” the hospital said in a press release.

The organs from the donor saved the lives of eight persons across various city-based hospitals in Bengaluru, with both eyes donated to Narayana Netralaya, both lungs to Manipal Hospital, the liver to HCG Hospital, heart valves to Manipal Hospitals, and one kidney to Ramaiah Hospital.

The second kidney was transplanted into a 41-year-old woman at Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi, who had been suffering from kidney failure for the past seven years. The lungs and heart valves were immediately transported via a green corridor, created between Fortis Hospital Nagarbhavi and Manipal Hospital HAL-Old Airport Road, covering approximately 20 km in mere 29 minutes, the release said.

Pradeep Kumar S., Medical Director, Fortis Hospital, Nagarbhavi, said, “We honour the donor and deeply appreciate the family’s selfless decision to embrace organ donation, offering the gift of life to those in need. This life-saving donation wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our medical team and the seamless coordination with the traffic police and SOTTO. We hope this inspiring act encourages more individuals to register as organ donors and thus save more lives.”
