An 18-year-old girl from Haryana gave a new lease of life to four critically-ill patients after her tragic death. In a deeply moving generosity, Joginder Pal Singh and Pinky Rani, the parents of the 18-year-old girl, chose to donate their daughter's organs.
The girl was declared brain-dead at Alchemist Hospital, Panchkula, on Saturday. On April 29, she met with an accident.
The donated organs were harvested, and the liver was sent to Max Hospital at Saket in Delhi.
The pancreas and one kidney were sent to PGIMER, Chandigarh, and one kidney was donated to a critical kidney failure patient at Alchemist Hospital, Panchkula, near here.
