Vadodara: 24-year-old dentist’s kidneys, liver donated

VADODARA: The kidneys and liver of a 24-year-old dentist, who suffered an accident last week, will give a new lease of life to many. The woman had met with an accident on November 11 and her condition kept on deteriorating.
Rutvi Barot suffered an accident while returning home from gym in Karelibaug area of the city as the scooter she was driving collided with a truck.
Rutvi was rushed to the SSG Hospital (SSGH) for treatment and from there she was taken to the Sterling Hospital. She lapsed into a coma and her lungs as well as heart were damaged badly.
With no neurological improvement, chances of her survival became very slim. The doctors explained the grim situation to her relatives and also suggested that her organs could be donated.
Former corporator and Rutvi’s uncle Ketan Brahmbhatt said that Rutvi had discussed organ donation with her father Manoj Rao a few days before she suffered the fatal accident. “The organs of a cousin of hers were also donated after he died in a railway accident,” said Brahmbhatt.
The doctors did not find the lungs and heart fit for transplantation. The other organs are expected to save the lives of three or four persons. A green corridor was created by the police to ensure speedy transportation of the organs.
