Senior consultant cardiac surgeon Dr Praveen Kumar said that Sandeep was very lucky that he received the heart just in time and expressed the need for more people to donate their hearts. “It all depended on the availability of a heart. That's why we need many more donors. In Sandeep's case, he was very lucky as we got the heart of the 25-year-old man who became brain dead after a traffic accident”, he said.
