The family of a 61-year-old woman from Jodhpur who was declared brain dead at Hinduja Hospital decided to donate her organs on Wednesday.
Doctors said the woman had suffered from an intracranial haemorrhage. Her liver was retrieved and transplanted to another critically ill patient. “Her son was counselled and explained about organ donation after which he gave his consent,” said a transplant co-ordinator from the hospital.
This was the 34th cadaver organ transplant in Mumbai this year. On Tuesday, relatives of 54-year-old Ujawala Tiwari donated her kidney and liver to two critical patients.
