Parents of 22-year-old Swetha Rani have decided to donate her organs after the engineering student was declared brain dead after being gravely injured in a road accident.
The youngster was fatally injured in a road accident while travelling with her friends on the night of Sunday, April 20, in Nizamabad and was immediately shifted to Apollo Hospitals.
At around 7.45 p.m. on Monday, doctors at the hospital declared the youngster brain dead. Officials from Jeevandan, the State-run organ donation programme, said Swetha’s father B. Nandulal immediately consented to donating her organs. The doctors retrieved two kidneys, one liver and two heart valves and sent them to various hospitals for transplantation. Jeevandan in-charge Dr. Swarnalatha said the organs were allocated to needy patients according to the online registration and allocation procedure framed by the sub-committees.
