February 2015 saw two incredible families in Rajasthan taking the decision to donate the organs of their deceased children to help others live. The first deceased organ donor in the state was a 7-yearold boy Mohit Kumar who became brain dead following an accidental head injury. His family went on to donate his kidneys and liver on 6th February2015. Both the kidneys were transplanted into a50-year-old man at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jaipur and the liver was transplanted into a 10-yearoldboy at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in Delhi. The second deceased organ donor was a 14-year-old girl Radha Rani. She was brought to, Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital, Jaipur on 22nd February 2015, in a critical condition from Sawai Madhopur. She was declared brain dead on 24th February. The girl’s grandfather agreed to donate her organs. Radha Rani’s kidneys were transplanted into two patients at SMS Hospital while her liver was sent to the Army R & R Hospital in Delhi through a special Indian Air Force helicopter, where it was transplanted into a patient who was the wife of a soldier. State Health Minister Mr. Rajendra Rathore said the kidney transplant was the first-of-its-kind deceased donor organ transplant in a government hospital in Rajasthan. As a mark of respect and token of appreciation for the young girl, Mr. Rathore said that the Post-Transplant Ward at SMS Hospital would be named after Radha Rani. He had earlier launched a web registry on 6th December 2014, which had consolidated information on patients in need of organ transplant, at a meeting organised by MOHAN Foundation at SMS Medical College.
