The donor was a 70-year-old woman named Jatinder Pal Kaur from Malout, Muktsar, who had been admitted to the DMCH after suffering severe brain haemorrhage. She was later declared brain dead. Doctors at the hospital explained to her family the importance of organ donation, telling them that a donor could save three lives. With great courage, the family agreed to donate her organs, turning their painful loss into hope for others.

Under the guidance of Dr PL Gautam, head, Department of Critical Care Medicine, and a dedicated DMCH team, the liver and kidneys were retrieved with care from the body of the deceased. The liver was transplanted into a 51-year-old man from Sangrur by a liver transplant team led by Dr Gursagar Singh Sahota. The kidneys were safely sent to other hospitals through a green corridor, so that they could be transplanted without delay.
