Details of the incident:
On Tuesday 23rd January 2018, Kalubhai was going to work at embroidery unit near Mohanbag, Baroda Prestage at 8:00 in the morning. When he was crossing the road in front of Navjivan Hotel, he became unconscious due to severe injuries to his head after an unknown vehicle hit him. He was admitted at G.B. Vaghani Multipurpose Hospital where treatment started under the supervision of Dr.Yogesh Satani. After CT scan, doctors found a blood clot in the brain. At 11 AM his heart stopped working which was tried to get functional by providing CPR. Later, Kalubhai was declared brain dead by Neurosurgeon Dr Hasmukh Sojitra and Neurophysician Dr Parthiv Desai.
Dr Chandresh Ghevariya from G.B.Vaghani Hospital informed Donate Life President Nilesh Mandlewala about Kalubhai’s brain death. The team of Donate Life reached the hospital and explained the importance and procedure of Organ Donation to his sons Ramesh and Rasik, brothers Ghanshyambhai and Arvindbhai, Nephews Rajnai and Milan, and other family members.
Family members of Kalubhai said, “Kalubhai was the very caring soul and used to help others who were really needy people. We had also seen news of Organ Donation in Newspapers frequently. They added that organ donation is a good deed. Today when our elder has got brain dead and is going to die soon, it is better to donate his precious organs and save the lives of needy people rather than burning his organ to ashes.”
On getting the consent of Kalubhai’s family members, Donate Life Founder President Nilesh Mandlewala contacted Dr Pranjal Modi at Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC), Ahmedabad and informed him to accept the donation of kidney and liver. The donation of kidney and liver were accepted by Dr Jamal Rizvi and his team from Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC), Ahmedabad, whereas donation of eyes was accepted by Lokdrashti Chakshu Bank’s Dr Praful Shiroya.
Both the donated kidneys were transplanted into Manisha Rameshchandra Modi (Age 37) living in Siddhpur. Whereas, the liver was transplanted into Dhruti Hardik Kanojiya (Age 27) living in Ahmedabad. The process of organ transplantation was done by Dr Pranjal Modi, Dr Jamal Rizvi and their team from Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC).
This whole process of organ donation witnessed an invaluable co-operation of Kalubhai’s sons Ramesh and Rasik, brothers Ghanshyam and Arvind, Nephews Rajni and Milan, Dr.Ketan Vora, Neurosurgeon Dr.Hasmukh Sojitra, Neurophysician Dr. Parthiv Desai, Intensivist Dr.Chandresh Ghevariya Administrators & Staff members of G.B.Vaghani Multispecialty Hospital, President of Donate Life Nilesh Mandlewala, Secretary Rakesh Jain, Trustee Hemant Desai, Subhash Jodhani, and Yogesh Prajapati.
So far, the team of Donate Life has given new life to 552 people by playing an instrumental role in donating 237 kidneys, 96 livers, 6 pancreases, 16 hearts and 200 eyes through counselling the family members of brain dead people.
