Cornea Donation

The family of a 43-year-old man who was declared brain dead at AIIMS-Delhi following a head injury donated his organs, helping save multiple lives.

A private hospital in Kolkata has retrieved the heart, liver, kidneys and corneas of a young male donor, declared brain dead and transplanted to six different people.

A brain dead 15-year-old has given a new lease of life to atleast five people who received her two kidneys, liver, corneas and skin graft in the city.

An Odisha family overcame their grief losing two family members in 24 hours and set an example by donating both the deceased's eyes. This noble gesture will now allow four people to get their eyesight. The corneas were removed and if suitable after proper tests, they will be transplanted to four people.

The family of a 28-year-old man agreed to donate five of his organs; liver, corneas and both kidneys which gave a new lease of life to three people on Friday.

The donor's family has donated the corneas, which were given to AIIMS, the heart to FEHI in Okhla, the kidney to a private hospital and one which was used at Fortis Vasant Kunj and the liver to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

The story of a 15-year-old boy named Hithendra, who lost his life in a motorbike accident, continues to inspire many in Tamil Nadu to become organ donors. As his parents chose to donate Hithendra's heart, kidney, liver, corneas and bone marrow, their action sparked off a movement called 'Hithendra Effect'.

Many ophthalmologists have opposed the film due to the myths described in the film.
