A 20-month-old Dhanishtha from Delhi becomes the youngest-ever cadaver/ deceased donors in India. Her organs helped save three lives: a five-month-old toddler who received the heart, a nine-month-old child who received the liver and a 34-year-old man who got a new lease of life after being donated both her kidneys. The girl was playing on the balcony of her house in Rohini in north-west Delhi on January 8 when she fell and sustained a serious brain injury. She was taken to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, but despite all efforts, the doctors couldn’t save her. The child was declared brain dead on January 11. When informed, Dhanishtha’s father, Ashish Kumar, an employee of a private bank, decided her organs could help save the lives of others. Kumar said he had lost his child, but by donating her organs he could keep her alive in the person whose life she would have saved. Paediatric organ donation is rare because of grief and religious beliefs.
