The entire process was done by Jupiter Hospital in Thane, which has successfully facilitated organ and tissue donations from the one donor to 13 others who were in need of it.
The initiative not only highlights but serves as reminder for increasing awareness and importance of organ donation as a life-saving mission.
The donations included:
Organs: Liver, kidneys, pancreas, and heart.
Tissues: Corneas, skin, and bones.
The hospital attributes this success to the self-motivation of donors and their families, emphasising the significance of expressing one’s wish to donate organs to loved ones.
Among the notable stories is that of a donor who had communicated their desire to donate organs years before their passing, enabling their family to make an informed and timely decision during a challenging moment.
Dr Parijat Gupte, consultant hepatologistat, Jupiter Hospital Thane, stated, “These cases highlight not just the medical achievement possible through organ donation, but also the importance of family awareness and consent. When donors express their wishes clearly, it empowers their families to carry them out during critical moments.”
On the government’s Notto website, the hospital also stressed the importance of registering or pledging for organ donation and ensuring that close relatives are informed about the decision.
While the success of these recent transplants is inspiring, it also underscores the ongoing need for increased awareness and participation in organ donation.
