Organs of a 62-year-old, Vijay Menon from Delhi who was declared brain-dead, have given a new lease of life to five people through organ donation.
He was declared brain dead due to a spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage at the Narayana Superspeciality Hospital Gurugram on Wednesday. “The man had reached the hospital in an almost unconscious state on May 1, complaining of severe headache. The doctors transferred him to an ICU following a CT scan, but his brain ceased functioning hours later due to spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage. Recognizing him as a potential donor, the family was informed and counselled about organ donation. The family gave their approval for organ donation, saving the lives of five people”, said Dr Swadesh Kumar, Medical Superintendent at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital Gurugram.
