The coordinated effort resulted in six life-saving organ transplants at the hospital, while additional organs and tissues were shared with leading transplant centres across India in accordance with state guidelines.

The first donor, a 39-year-old woman who was declared brain dead after suffering severe traumatic brain injuries in a road traffic accident, gave the gift of life to multiple recipients.

At Reliance Foundation Hospital, her bilateral lungs were transplanted into a 59-year-old man on VV-ECMO support under the supra-urgent category, while her liver was transplanted into a 46-year-old woman and one kidney into a 56-year-old woman.

Her heart was allocated to the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology in Ahmedabad, another kidney was shared with Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai, and both corneas were donated, restoring sight to two individuals.

The second donor, a 59-year-old woman who was declared brain dead following a left intraparenchymal haemorrhage, also extended the gift of life through organ donation.

Her liver was transplanted into a 44-year-old woman and one kidney into a 60-year-old man at Reliance Foundation Hospital, while the second kidney was allocated to Apollo Hospital in Navi Mumbai. Both corneas were donated through the EBCRC Eye Bank, Mumbai, benefiting two more recipients.

Six Patients Receive New Life

In all, Reliance Foundation Hospital carried out five transplant surgeries involving six organs—bilateral lungs, two livers and two kidneys. Additional organs and tissues benefited patients at hospitals in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Ahmedabad, underscoring the collaborative network that supports organ transplantation across the country.
