Hotelier gives new lease of life to seven
March 16, 2017
Seven patients got a lease of life from organs donated from a 40-year old brain dead man.
P Dhamotharan, a hotelier in Modakurichi in Erode, had met with a road accident on March 13, resulting in severe head injury.
As he was not responding to treatment he was shifted from a hospital in Erode to Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital (KMCH) the next day.
Not responding well to treatment, he was declared brain dead last evening, a KMCH statement said today.
As the deceased’s cousin Senthil kumar volunteered to donate organs, a team of doctors from KMCH and the Government Hospital harvested Dhamotharan’s heart, liver, kidneys and eyes and transplanted them to seven patients, the statement added.
