Bhubaneswar: At a time when he should have been grieving the loss of his son, Kailash Chandra Sahoo, from Aripada village in Odisha’s Kendrapada district, showed remarkable composure and compassion to donate the organs of 23-year-old Manoj Kumar Sahoo, who was declared brain dead following an accident.
Manoj, who worked at a private firm, met with the accident four days ago and was admitted to KIMS. Serious injuries on the neck prevented recovery and Manoj was declared brain dead.
Kailash, a driver by profession, said he decided to donate his son’s organs so that three other lives could be saved.
Prof (Dr) R C Das, KIMS Medical Superintendent, commended the father’s selflessness.
“Organ donation is a regular process governed by strict guidelines. Every brain-dead case is assessed to ensure the possibility of organ donation as per the government mandate. In this instance, the father himself came forward, expressing his willingness to donate his son’s organs. His realisation of the value of organ donation is truly inspiring,” he said.
The liver and two kidneys will be transplanted in separate hospitals in Bhubaneswar.
KIIT, KISS & KIMS Founder Dr Achyuta Samanta expressed his deepest gratitude to Kailash for his act of kindness.
