The kidneys and liver of a 40-year-old Ulhasnagar resident benefitted two patients at Fortis Hospital, Mulund and one at Lilavati Hospital, Bandra. The donor, an accident victim, was battling for his life since December 23 at Fortis Hospital, Mulund. With two donations last week, the hospital made six cadaver donations this year.
Last week's second donation came from a 67-year-old Ghatkopar resident who died of brain haemorrhage. The donor's liver and one kidney were used for patients at Fortis while the other kidney was given to Jupiter Hospital, Thane. The recipient, a 64-year-old woman, was awaiting a kidney for 14 years.
"She has been on dialysis for more than 10 years. She lived in Chennai before coming to Mumbai," said Anirudh Kulkarni, transplant coordinator at Jupiter Hospital. She had registered for a kidney in March last year. All the patients are doing well after the transplant surgeries.
With 39 cadaver donations, this is by far the best year for organ transplant programme in the city. "This year, the trend was much better. But we need to do more. We need more public hospitals to come forward and start taking the initiative," said Dr Sujata Patwardhan of Zonal Transplant Coordination Committee (ZTCC). Of all registered public hospitals in the city, only KEM Hospital at Parel has made two cadaver donations this year with no contribution from JJ, Sion and Nair hospitals.
"Things can be better if intensivists are motivated to convince patients," said a transplant coordinator.

With 39 cadaver donations, this is by far the best year for organ transplant in the city. Private hospitals have shown improvement with cadaver donations, but the performance of public hospitals has been far from encouraging.
