Heart dashed from Indore to Mumbai hospital in 2 hours, city driver gets new life
Date : November 09, 2016

The donor, a 45-year-old butcher, suffered an irreversible brain damage after a road accident. He was declared brain dead at Suyash Hospital in Indore. His parents, wife and two children gave their consent to donate his organs. The recipient was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy where the heart's pumping capacity is diminished. This is the second time a heart from Indore has saved an end-stage heart patient in Maharashtra.
