Surat: The city witnessed two successive cadaver organ donations from govt hospitals in the past two days, benefiting 10 recipients. The first donation occurred at New Civil Hospital (NCH) on Monday from a 45-year-old jeweller, while the second occurred on Tuesday at Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research (SMIMER), involving a 31-year-old gardener.
The 64th successful organ donation at NCH Surat involved Ashish Birani (45), who hailed from Sikarada village in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. His donated organs included two kidneys, liver, and corneas. Birani, who lived in the Parvat village area, collapsed due to high blood pressure while visiting a monk in Ratlam. Following initial treatment at a private facility there and subsequent care in Ahmedabad, he was admitted to NCH Surat’s ICU on Jan 18.
After his condition deteriorated, doctors counselled the family regarding organ donation. The medical team included Dr Ketan Naik, Dr Nilesh Kachhadiya, Dr Hemal Cheda, Dr Keyur Prajapati, Iqbal Kadiwala, Dr Dharitri Parmar, and NCH staff.
The second organ donation was from 31-year-old Vijay Bhabhor at SMIMER hospital on Tuesday. His kidneys, liver, and corneas were donated through the NGO Donate Life, which promotes organ donation.
