Mumbai: In a remarkable act of generosity, a 45-year-old brain-dead man from Thane gave a new lease of life to several patients through organ donation, fulfilling his long-cherished wish of helping others even in death.

Heart, Liver, Corneas, Skin and Bones Retrieved for Transplant

Sandesh Shringarpure, a graphic designer by profession, suffered a brain haemorrhage and was admitted to Jupiter Hospital for treatment. Despite medical efforts, his condition did not improve and doctors declared him brain-dead. In the midst of their grief, his family chose to honour his desire to serve others by consenting to organ donation.

Following the decision, his heart, liver, corneas, skin and bones were retrieved for transplantation. The donations have already benefitted multiple patients who were awaiting life-saving procedures.

Two Elderly Brain-Dead Patients Donated Organs in February

In the first week of February, two more cases of organ and tissue donation by elderly brain-dead patients in the city brought hope to several families. According to officials from the Zonal Transplant Coordination Committee (ZTCC), an 80-year-old woman admitted to Fortis Hospital was declared brain-dead on December 1. With her family’s consent, her tissues and skin were donated, although her other organs were found unsuitable for transplantation.

Data available on the ZTCC website shows that 53 donors donated organs in 2025, enabling a total of 160 transplants across Mumbai. From these donors, surgeons have successfully transplanted 77 kidneys, 46 livers, 18 hearts, 11 lungs, and even a hand. While the figures reflect steady progress in organ donation efforts, experts stress that the gap between demand and availability of organs remains wide.
