A Sydney based Indian couple donated the organs of their seven year old son Deyaan Udani after his death, giving Maharashtra its youngest ever organ donor and thus saving lives of four people.
Deyaan and his family were holidaying in India and were going back to Sydney but on the way back he collapsed just two hours before they were scheduled to head to the international airport. They rushed him to Nanavati hospital, where multiple clots were found in his brain. He was then shifted to Mahim's P D Hinduja hospital where the surgery was carried out on Jan 27 to release the pressure inside the brain. "He didn't respond to it," said Dr Sucheta Desai, the hospital transplant coordinator. Deyaan was declared as brain dead on Saturday after a second successfull sleep apnea test. "Amid such grief the family were very keen on donating his organs even before we approached them," she added.
Deyaan's mother Mili said she had just fulfilled her son's wish. "Coincidently this year itself, her children had learnt about organ donation in school. Both of them said they want to be a donors when they grew up," Mili added. The family donated Deyaan's heart, kidneys and liver. The kidneys were given to a 11 year old and a 15 year old at Jaslok Hospital. His Liver was transplanted into a 31 year old man at Jupiter Hospital and his heart was given to seven year old girl from Goregaon who had been given a few more weeks to live, till Deyaan Udani heart saved her.
This is a inspiration for everyone about Organ Donation. So friends come forward and donate your organs so it can give life to someone else i.e " Life After Death " .
