In death, Wardha accident victim gives life to four A 47-year-old man from Seloo in Wardha district, Atul Gajananrao Deole, became a beacon of hope after his tragic accident, as his organs were donated to four patients following his brain death. The incident unfolded on April 4 when Deole, traveling on a two-wheeler near Butibori, met with a severe road accident. Despite intensive medical treatment over five days, doctors at AIIMS Nagpur confirmed he suffered a severe brain hemorrhage and declared him brain dead after completing all necessary protocols. The family’s decision to donate his organs was facilitated by the hospital’s transplant coordinators, Pooja Sulaniya, Divya Gaygole, and Vishal Handuge. After counseling, Deole’s wife, Rajni, and his family members consented to the donation. His liver, kidneys, and corneas were retrieved and allocated in accordance with national guidelines through ZTCC Nagpur. The allocation process was overseen by ZTCC Nagpur’s president, Dr. Manish Shrigiriwar, and secretary, Dr. Shailesh Gahukar. The liver was successfully transplanted into a 56-year-old patient, while the kidneys were allocated to two recipients—one at AIIMS Nagpur and another at a private hospital. The corneas were retained at AIIMS for further use. The brain death panel included Dr. Shrigiriwar, Dr. Sucheta Meshram, Dr. Sourabh Zambre, and Dr. Kiran Prathipati, ensuring the process adhered to strict medical standards. Transplant coordination was led by Dinesh Mandape, who ensured the seamless execution of the donation. The hospital staff honored Deole’s legacy by forming a green corridor for his respectful transportation to his hometown. This gesture underscored the community’s recognition of his selfless act, which provided life-saving opportunities to four individuals.#butibori #aiims_nagpur #atul_gajananrao_deole #seloo #zttc_nagpur
