This donation included a 40-year-old deceased woman, whose skin was preserved in a skin band located at the Burn and Plastic Center of the hospital.
After this, all the organs were allotted to the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization. One liver and one kidney were handed over to AHRR Hospital. One kidney was given to Safdarjung Hospital, while one heart, one liver and two kidneys were transplanted to a needy person in AIIMS itself.
A child's organ donation saved the life
