Two organs were harvested from a 55-year-old man who was declared brain-dead on Tuesday after his family agreed to donate through the Telangana government’s Jeevandan scheme. The donation has given a renewed chance of survival to patients waiting for a transplant. Among the organs obtained are two kidneys.
The donor, Nallala Laxmirajam, was a resident of Puranipet, Jagtial district and was working as Head Constable at Korutla Police Station, attached to Armed Reserves (AR) Headquarters, Jagtial.
On March 22, he collapsed at his residence due to a sudden increase 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 Jeevandan’s organ donation program then met the family, offered grief counseling and explained the importance of organ donation. After discussions, the family agreed to proceed with the donation.
