Haryana youth's heroic act grants new lease of life to five patients

In a heartwarming gesture, two families from Haryana, struck by tragedy, chose to donate the organs of their loved ones, offering hope and life to several others in need.

Shubham's legacy of life

Shubham, a 24-year-old student from Haryana, met with a tragic accident and was admitted to PGIMER in critical condition. Despite medical efforts, he was declared brain dead. His family, in a selfless act, consented to organ donation, adhering to the Transplantation of Human Organs Act.

Shubham's liver, kidneys, pancreas, and corneas were successfully harvested. While his liver found a recipient at ILBS hospital in Delhi, his kidneys went to two individuals, one of whom was on long-term dialysis, while the other was struggling with type-1 diabetes. Additionally, two corneal blind patients regained their sight through the donated corneas. A green corridor facilitated the safe transport of Shubham's liver to Delhi, ensuring timely transplantation.
