Nagaon based family saves two lives at GMCH in Guwahati

Nagaon: A Nagaon based family's selfless act of donating the organs of their 18-year-old son, who passed away prematurely, has garnered widespread appreciation and recognition across Assam. The family's generosity has given a new lease of life to two individuals who were struggling to survive due to kidney failure at Guwahati Medical College and Hospital. Upon learning about the premature death, a team of expert physicians from Guwahati Medical College, with the Chief Minister's permission, approached the family and requested them to donate their son's kidneys. Initially, the family was hesitant, but eventually, they agreed to donate their son's organs. The medical team then collected the kidneys and transported them to Guwahati Medical College through a green corridor. The kidneys were successfully transplanted into two patients today by a team of expert doctors, saving their lives. Following the successful surgery, Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma instructed Nagaon District Commissioner Debashish Sarma to express his gratitude and appreciation to the bereaved family. The District Commissioner visited the family's cremation site this morning to convey the Chief Minister's message and thank the family for their noble act. The District Commissioner Sarma praised the family's generosity and called upon others to follow their example, stating that such acts can help save many lives in society.
