Telangana head constable’s organ donation gives new lease of life to patients
The Hindu
A brain-dead head constable’s family consented to organ donation under the Jeevandan programme, giving two patients a new lease of life through kidney transplants.
Two organs were harvested from a 55-year-old man who was declared brain dead on Tuesday, after his family consented to the donation through the Telangana government’s Jeevandan programme. The donation has given a renewed chance at survival to patients awaiting transplants. The retrieved organs include two kidneys.
The donor, Nallala Laxmirajam, was a resident of Puranipet, Jagtial district, and working as a head constable at Korutla Police Station, attached to the Armed Reserve (AR) headquarters, Jagtial.
On March 22, he collapsed at his residence due to a sharp rise in blood pressure. His family members rushed him to a private hospital in Hyderabad for treatment. Despite continuous medical care, doctors declared him brain dead.
A coordinator from the Jeevandan organ donation programme then met the family, offered grief counselling and explained the significance of organ donation. Following discussions, the family agreed to proceed with donation.
