Once again, it was an unthinkable story of exemplary courage, of resolute spirit at PGIMER as the aggrieved but brave-heart family from Yamuna Nagar immortalised their 18-year-old son Rajiv Kumar in five others through the kind act of organ donation.
With this magnanimous decision, the family of 18 year old Rajiv Kumar from village Urnai, Tehsil Pehowa, Kurukshetra, gave ‘gift of life’ to three terminally ill organ failure patients with the transplantation of liver and kidneys and enabled two more patients to restore their sights, thereby impacting five lives in all here in PGIMER.
Paying his obeisance to the donor family, Prof. Vivek Lal, Director PGIMER, expressed his sentiments, “I think you develop a different level of respect for the donor family, for their spirit of unconditional love amidst braving their own excruciating pain of losing their dear one in his prime. There cannot be a better teaching in humanity and compassion than organ donation.”
On the fateful day of 13th December, the happy world of young Rajiv Kumar’s family suddenly doomed as an unknown vehicle hit him, leaving him unconscious with the impact of the injury.
