Two green corridors were created on Wednesday to transport the donated liver and kidney of a brain dead patient in Bhopal. Mahesh Namdev (53), a resident of Sagar, was brought to Siddhanta Red Cross Hospital 5 days ago for the treatment of brain hemorrhage. During the treatment, he went into a coma due to excessive bleeding in the brain and was declared brain dead on Tuesday. After this, the family decided to donate his liver and kidney.

The liver was taken to Bansal Hospital and the kidney to Chirayu Hospital for transplant.

Additional DCP Traffic Bansat Kaul said that the first team of doctors from Bansal Hospital left Siddhanta Hospital with the liver at around 2.30 pm. The journey of 3.5 km was covered in four minutes. The second team left for Chirayu Medical College with the kidney at 2.35 pm. The distance of 17 km was covered in 13 minutes. The kidney is to be transplanted to a patient in Siddhanta Hospital itself.

About 10 minutes after the departure of both the teams, Mahesh Namdev's body was handed over to his family. The family left for Sagar with the body.

Siddhanta Red Cross Hospital Director Dr. Subodh Varshney said that 53-year-old Mahesh Namdev, a resident of Sagar, had recovered from a heart attack. He had come to Bhopal for treatment of brain hemorrhage. He was admitted here 5 days ago. During the treatment, he went into a coma due to excessive bleeding in the brain. After this, he became brain dead on Tuesday.

After seeing the patient's medical report, the patient's family expressed their intention to donate liver and kidney. After this, under the prescribed protocol, the committee of medical experts declared patient Mahesh Namdev brain dead. Also, the patient's report was sent to the National Tissue and Transplant Organization (NOTTO).

NOTTO approved transplanting the patient's liver to a patient admitted in Bansal Hospital, one kidney to Chirayu Hospital Medical College and one kidney to a patient admitted in Siddhanta Red Cross Hospital.

Mahesh Namdev's son Sachendra Namdev said we are residents of Maharaj of Sagar. Father used to do farming. His health deteriorated on Tuesday. He was admitted to Bhagyoday Hospital in Sagar. Doctors said that he had a cardiac arrest.

We brought him to Siddhanta Hospital in Bhopal. He underwent angioplasty here. He was fine for two-three days. On the day he was to be discharged, he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He also underwent surgery. Father died due to excessive bleeding.

Mahesh Namdev's liver will be transplanted to a 49-year-old patient from Karond admitted in Bansal Hospital. Doctors had advised the patient to undergo liver transplant surgery a year ago. But, the surgery was not possible due to non-availability of an organ donor. Liver transplant surgeon Dr. Gursagar Singh Sahota will perform the surgery of the patient in the hospital.
