Parents of an eight-year-old girl from Churchgate put aside their own grief to donate the organs of their daughter on Monday, saving the lives of four end-stage organ failure patients in the city.
The child was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra on February 27 after she suffered a stroke. On evaluation, it was found a brain aneurysm (weak spot in the wall of a brain artery that protrudes outward) was responsible for the stroke. Brain aneurysms are rare in children and a ruptured aneurysm can be life-threatening.
A source from the hospital said despite their best efforts the child couldn’t be saved.
