Organs from Brain Dead Student Breathes Life into Seven Critically Ill Patients
| Samagna continues to live even in death |
Samagna was no ordinary teenager. Apart from aspiring to become a doctor to save lives of patients, she was a deep thinker of human values. She would always speak about medical ethics and about the importance of contentment in life. Samagna was certainly way beyond her age in her ideals.
She was a bright student, studying second year at the Osmania Medical College,in Hyderabad.
Uncannily, this teenager breathed her last on Friday, Sept 17th.
Samagna complained of extreme headache on September 14. Later she also had vomiting. Her health did not improve despite several consultations with doctors and medication. When her condition worsened, she was rushed to Kamineni Hospital where she was put on ventilator. Doctors declared her “brain dead”on Friday.
Her family fulfilled her last wish of organ donation. Her organs – heart valves, kidneys, eyes and liver were transplanted into seven patients, for whom it was most certainly re-birth.
Her kidneys, liver, heart valves and eyes were retrieved the same night by MOHAN Foundation and the organs were transplanted to critically ill patients at Kamineni Hospitals, Global Hospitals, Star Hospitals and L.V. Prasad Eye Institute respectively.
