According to data, a bulk of these organs comprise kidneys (1,211), followed by livers (729) and hearts (102). This year saw as many as 102 organ donations, of which 56 were kidneys.
According to a press release issued on Thursday, the kin of a 21-year-old youth, who succumbed to injuries after a road accident, agreed to donating his organs.
The donor, identified as Komire Naveen, who was a resident of Gowreddipeta village in Peddapalli district, met with a road accident on August 31. He was rushed to a private hospital and later moved to Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad branch, for treatment.
However, he was declared brain-dead on September 8. After a Jeevandan coordinator counselled his parents, they consented to donate his organs. Five organs, including two kidneys, a liver and two corneas were donated.
Jeevandan expressed gratitude to the family of Mr. Naveen for having saved lives of those in need of organ transplantation.
