A tragic road accident turned into a story of hope in Jaipur when the family of an 18-year-old youth, declared brain dead, decided to donate his kidneys and liver. Their courageous choice saved the lives of three patients awaiting transplants at SMS Hospital.
Doctors hailed the decision as a reminder of how one organ donor can save multiple lives. Rajasthan has recently gained recognition for its efforts in promoting organ donation, with SMS Hospital performing a record number of kidney transplants this year.
India still faces a severe shortage of organ donors—just 0.65 per million people. Stories like this highlight the urgent need for awareness. By pledging to donate, each of us can turn personal tragedy into hope for others.
Organ donation isn’t just a medical act—it’s the gift of life.
