Pune, 25th January 2025: In a deeply emotional and extraordinary turn of events, a 25-year-old pregnant woman, who sustained severe injuries in a road accident, became a beacon of hope for others through organ donation. The woman, a pillion rider involved in a traffic accident in Ahilyanagar (Ahmednagar), suffered a traumatic brain injury and was rushed to a private medical college and hospital in Pimpri. Despite all medical efforts, she was declared brain dead.

Tragically, the woman, who was at full term in her pregnancy, delivered a baby boy through emergency medical intervention before being declared brain dead. Doctors performed neurosurgery and provided the best possible care, but her condition could not be reversed.

In a remarkable act of courage and humanity, her husband and father made the decision to donate her organs, ensuring her legacy would live on by saving others’ lives. Following the organ donation guidelines, her kidneys and liver were allocated to patients in need.

One kidney and the liver were retained by the medical college for patients at the donor hospital, while the other kidney was allocated to a patient at Nine Pearl Hospital, Nashik. The allocation was facilitated by the Zonal Transplant Coordination Committee (ZTCC).
