Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) has achieved yet another significant milestone in the field of organ donation and transplantation as a team of doctors performed an in-house cadaveric multi-organ transplant here. It was possible when the family of a 54-year-old brain-dead male patient from Faridkot consented to donate five of his organs.
The patient’s liver, kidneys and corneas were allocated by the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO). The liver and a kidney were transplanted at the DMCH to two patients, while the second kidney was allocated to another hospital in the state. The eyes were donated to the medical college in Faridkot.
