Hero's Gift: Organs Save Three Lives
13 Jan
Summary
- A 40-year-old man's organs were donated after his death.
- Two kidneys were transplanted, and lungs were sent to Mumbai.
- His wife found strength in his donation saving others' lives.
In a profound act of generosity, Harpinder Singh, a 40-year-old road accident victim, donated his organs, saving three lives. Admitted to PGIMER on Tuesday after sustaining a severe head injury, Singh was declared brainstem dead on Friday. Despite critical care, his condition deteriorated, leading to this compassionate decision by his family.
Singh's kidneys were successfully transplanted at PGIMER, offering a second chance to patients with end-stage renal disease. His lungs were transported to Mumbai's Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre through a swiftly organized green corridor, highlighting efficient inter-state organ sharing. This coordinated effort underscores the strength of India's organ donation network.
Harpinder's wife, Neetu Kumari, expressed that while nothing can replace her husband, the knowledge that his organs will help others live provides her with strength. She believes his journey continues through the lives he has saved, a powerful testament to his enduring legacy.
