In a touching act of courage, the family of a brain-dead youth from Chikka Mandya village in Mandya district donated his organs, bringing hope to six patients waiting for life-saving transplants. Doctors called it one of the noblest decisions made in deep sorrow.
The transplant was carried out at the Trauma and Emergency Care Centre of Victoria Hospital. The procedure was performed by the team of Bengaluru Medical College and Research Institute at an affordable cost. Medical Superintendent Dr. Deepak and Special Officer Dr. Asima Banu appreciated the family’s strength during their painful time.
Darshan, a young man from Chikka Mandya, fell from his bike on February 22. At first, the injury seemed minor and he returned home. Later, his condition worsened and he was rushed to hospital. Doctors found severe internal brain bleeding and shifted him to Victoria Hospital for advanced treatment.
Despite continuous care and several tests, he showed no improvement. After two days, a senior medical board declared him brain dead. Counselors from the Jeevasaarthakate organ donation team spoke to the family and explained how his organs could save others.
The grieving family agreed to donate his liver, kidneys, heart valves and other organs. These were transplanted into needy patients, giving them a fresh chance at life.
Hospital officials praised the family’s selfless act, saying their decision turned tragedy into hope and will inspire many others to consider organ donation in the future.
