Organs harvested from a five-year-old boy from Udumalpet after he was declared brain dead have given a new lease of life to four persons.
The donor has been identified as Sivadhitya, son of Vignesh, from Udumalpet in Tiruppur district.
Sivadhitya and his grandfather recently met with a road traffic accident and were shifted to Royal Care Super Speciality Hospital in Coimbatore for treatment. Despite intensive care, the boy did not respond to treatment and was declared brain dead on Thursday (March 12, 2026).
The parents of Sivadhitya came forward to donate their son’s organs. A team of multi-organ transplant surgeons harvested the liver, kidneys and heart in accordance with the guidelines of the Transplant Authority of Tamil Nadu.
The Transplant Authority of Tamil Nadu allotted one kidney to Royal Care Super Speciality Hospital, where it was transplanted to a needy patient. The other kidney, liver and heart were sent to private hospitals in Salem and Chennai.
The management of Royal Care Super Speciality Hospital praised the parents for their noble gesture of organ donation, which helped save four lives.
