The three deceased donations in a 48-hour span led to a city hospital completing six transplants in 24 hours.

“We began on March 9 when an in-house deceased donation helped us get a liver and a kidney for two patients registered with us,” said Dr. Tarang Gianchandani. As these transplants were underway, the Girgaum hospital got a lung donation from a hospital in Surat. “Even as our doctors were busy with these operations, we got donations of a lung, heart, and liver from Umrao Wockhardt Hospitals in Mira Road,” she said, adding that some planned surgeries were rescheduled as transplants were given priority.

A total of 25 surgeons, 30 nurses, 15 support staff, and four transplant coordinators were involved in six transplants. “Three donor families helped five families savor a second chance at life,” said the doctor.
