A patient of ESIC Sanathnagar, Hyderabad, saved three other patients' lives.
Yesterday, the hospital successfully conducted its first in-house cadaver (deceased patient) organ retrieval, marking a significant advancement in its medical services capabilities and commitment to saving lives.
The donor was a 45-year-old male declared brain dead in the hospital. The hospital's neurosurgery team headed by Dr Samson then counselled and educated the attendants about noble organ donation, and the due consent for donation was given.
The organs were allotted by Jeevandhaan to ESIC. A recipient of one kidney was a 50-year-old female patient, a beneficiary of ESIC, who was on dialysis since the last four years. A liver and one more kidney were allotted to Osmania General Hospital, where two more recipients benefited from the donor's organs.
