An 82-year-old man on Monday became the oldest cadaver organ donor in the city and, perhaps, the state. The Thane family’s decision to donate the organs of their loved one saved the life of an end-stage liver failure patient and marked the city’s 39th donation of the year.
During a casual conversation with his sons and daughters-in-law about six months ago, the donor had expressed a desire to donate his organs if an opportunity ever arose. The retired government official had already pledged his body for medical research eight years back.
The family, which sought to remain anonymous, said they were glad to further the organ donation programme that has facilitated 116 life-saving transplants in 2018.Click Here: cheap INTERNATIONAL jersey
