Organs of 24-year-old brain-dead man give patients a new lease of life
Three organs were harvested from a 24-year-old brain-dead man on July 26 through the Telangana government’s Jeevandan programme. The organs comprise a liver and two kidneys.
The donor, Addanki Raja, was a resident of Brundavan Nagar, Secunderabad. On July 19, he experienced giddiness while riding his two-wheeler and fell from his bike. He was rushed to Kamineni Hospitals in LB Nagar. Despite receiving emergency treatment, he remained unresponsive for eight days and was declared brain-dead on July 26.
Following this, Jeevandan coordinators provided grief counselling to the family and explained to them the importance of organ donation.
