Doctors urge people to donate organs

Doctors urged the public on Organ Donation Day to pledge their organs to help save lives.

According to doctors, one in 1000 women suffer from this problem and often, the diagnosis does not identify the true nature of the crisis.

Sources said that six cases have already been registered at the MCH for heart and lung transplants.

The donor’s heart was transplanted on 12.33 pm and it started functioning in the patient’s body by 12.50 pm.

The transplantation surgery started at 11.30 am and was completed at 5.30 pm.

The heart was rushed in 15 minutes to the GGH, Guntur.

The recipient, suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), has been on waiting list for over a month.

She had undergone a heart transplant on December 11, 2015, after she was admitted to the hospital with end-stage heart failure.

The NGO working for creating awareness about the organ donation approached his relatives for donating his organs.
