5 yrs after transplant, a union of hearts at city hosp

Kochi | Tuesday | 14th August, 2018

Summary:

“Organ donation and transplant need to be promoted in a big way, for it gives a new lease of life to many of us. The organ donation and transplantation programme, which was at its peak in 2016, saw just 18 cases in 2017 and only two in 2018. Thanks to Lisie Hospital’s initiative to celebrate Sruthi’s fifth birthday with a new heart,” said another sister Lillykutty.“If she didn’t have the heart transplant, she wouldn’t have survived even three months. I hope there are many more good souls like Lalichan’s family who come forward to donate their deceased member’s organs,” said Sruthi. But now we are 14 as after my brother’s death, he continues to live through seven people to whom we donated his organs..
