A woman, the recipient of a kidney of a brain-dead 15-year-old girl, died at a state-run hospital on Monday, three days after the transplant, an official said. Moumita Chakraborty died at around 2:45 am at the SSKM Hospital as her body had developed 'rejection' to the kidney of another person, State Nodal Officer on organ transplantation Aditi Kishore Sarkar told PTI.

She had been on ventilation since August 17 post-transplant, and her condition remained extremely critical. She had been undergoing treatment for her renal problems at the hospital since the first week of August, a hospital spokesman said.
