Doctor diagnosed brain hemorrhage after going through CT Scan. On 15 December 2016, she was declared brain dead by Neurophysician Dr. Roshan Patel and Neurosurgeon Dr. Hasmukh Sojitra.
Committee member of Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Shri Paresh Modi then called Donate Life President Nileshbhai Mandlewala to inform him about Minaxiben’s case. Team Donate Life rushed to the hospital to start with the counseling session with Minaxiben’s family members. Family members consciously decided to donate the organs so as to give new lives to many. According to Minaxiben’s daughter, she was a lady who always had concern for others so we must go ahead for her organ donation. Hence, the President of Donate Life, Shri Nileshbhai, called coordinator Priyaben Shah and Dr.Pranjal Modi from Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre (IKDRC), Ahmedabad and requested them to accept the donation of the 2 kidneys and liver. Dr.Jamal Rizvi along with his team rushed from IKDRC and accepted donation of two kidneys and liver. Donation of two eyes were accepted by Dr.Praful Shiroya from Lokdrashti Chakshu bank.
