Hyderabad, May 09: 53-year-old P Indira Reddy, a mother of two, was declared “brain dead” following an accident. But on Mother’s day today, her children see her living on as her organs gave a new lease of life to several needy persons.
Reddy was hospitalized on May 6 after she sustained head injuries in a road accident near Lal Bahadur Nagar here.
The doctors pronounced her “brain dead” the very next day.
Mohan Foundation, an NGO working for promotion of organ donation, briefed the family members about how she could live on in others by organ donation.
“They knew what organ donation is. So, they readily agreed,” Mohan Foundation, CEO, Raghuram told PTI.
Reddy’s liver, heart valves, kidneys and eyes were retrieved yesterday and distributed among several hospitals in the city for donating to the needy.
