Nagpur: A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan, who died of neurological complications on February 24, gave a new lease of life to three needy persons through cadaver organ donation coordinated by the Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC), Nagpur.
Sandeep Mahajan, 39, from Yerandol of Jalgaon was a cook with the CRPF. According to details provided by ZTCC, he was admitted to New Era Hospital last week with complaints of drowsiness with paraparesis. In spite of undergoing treatment for six days, his condition deteriorated neurologically and a team of doctors declared him brain-dead on February 24.
After family members were counselled by New Era Hospital doctors, patient’s wife Monali Mahajan agreed to donate her husband’s organs, said ZTCC.
Sandeep’s two kidneys, liver, lungs and eyes were found fit for retrieval. ZTCC allocated the kidneys and liver to local patients while lungs were allocated through National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) to a 53-year-old man at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai.
Doctors reached Nagpur from Mumbai by a chartered flight early in the morning, but could not retrieve lungs as they were found unfit for transplant while harvesting.
As one of the kidneys was to be transported to Wardha, traffic police created a 88km green corridor from New Era Hospital to AVBRH, Sawangi, Wardha. Kidney reached there in 55 minutes.
While this was the 71st cadaver donation in Nagpur zone, it was 43rd liver transplant of Central India. Of these, New Era Hospital alone has done 36 liver transplants.
One of the kidneys was transplanted in a patient admitted to the same hospital. It was the 25th renal transplant at this hospital.
