The donor was declared brain dead after he suffered a stroke. Hemant Deshmukh, Dean of KEM hospital said, "The patient was in a poor condition on admission and his condition deteriorated. He was declared dead after two apnea tests."
Lauding the family's courage, Dr. Deshmukh said that they consented to organ donation. "His liver was allotted to Apollo Hospital. This is the first time a public hospital has become an organ donor in two years," he said.
He added that due to certain blood parameters, the kidneys were not considered suitable for organ donations by the Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre.
