Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The organs of a brain-dead 54-year-old teacher provided new life to people in need. Sagar-based teacher Harishankar Dimul died on Sunday at Bhopal’s Bansal Hospital following a cerebral haemorrhage.
Dimula, a resident of Dauri in Sagar district, had earlier expressed his desire to donate his organs after his death and the family respecting his wish donated both his organs. While one of his kidneys was transplanted into a patient at Bansal Hospital, where the teacher breathed his last, his other kidney was transplanted into a 59-year-old man at Chovitram Hospital, Indore.
According to the doctors, Dimol, who suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage, was referred to Hopel for treatment. He was admitted to Bansal Hospital on Friday, but he did not respond to treatment and was declared brain dead on Sunday. The family members expressed their desire to donate his organs and contacted the Kiran Foundation, Dr. Rakesh Bhargava, secretary of the Kiran Foundation, said: “Dimul’s son Vinit told his father that he was a teacher and worked all his life to make society aware of the importance of education. His father expressed his desire to donate organs but the family members had no idea about the process.
We explained about organ donation to Vineet. The kidneys were donated with the consent of the family members.” The family also gave consent for eye donation and skin donation, but this was not approved as the teacher was earlier treated for cancer, Bhargava said.
