The ‘Organ Donation week’ came as a boon to 51-year-old Sanjeev Aggarwal, an Engineer at ONGC, who got a fresh lease of life after undergoing liver transplant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
A 25-year-old man Rahul (name changed), student of engineering in Delhi, saved four lives in the city by donating his kidneys, liver and heart.
Aggarwal, who hails from Dehradun, has been searching for a liver since a year. Doctors had diagnosed him with the advanced liver disease. Rahul, on the other hand, having met with an accident was declared brain-dead at the Fortis hospital (Vasant Kunj), Delhi.
“I could see all doors getting shut one by one. I am thankful to the young soul, who is resting in peace now for saving the life of my husband,” Sanjeev’s wife Neeru said.
Dr. Naimish Mehta, Senior Liver Transplant Surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital said, “Sanjeev was diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis. His blood showed presence of jaundice and kidney disorder. Meanwhile, we got a call from National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO). We operated Sanjeev and he is doing well now.”
Other organs of Rahul were sent to Escort Heart Institute, Fortis (Vasant Kunj) and BLK Hospital.
