United India: Tamil Nadu Donor’s Heart Reaches Kashmiri Woman’s Body

New Delhi:  The heart of a brain dead 18-year-old donor in Tamil Nadu was taken all the way to Jammu and Kashmir to be transplanted in a 33-year-old woman who was suffering from terminal heart failure. The donor’s heart was transported 350 km from Trichy to a hospital in state capital Chennai, where the Kashmiri woman was admitted.

 

The chambers of Srinagar-resident Shahzadi Fathima’s heart had become stiff over time. She became terminally ill and her only hope of survival was early life-saving heart transplantation.

On January 26, a suitable brain-dead donor was identified in a private hospital in Trichy. The heart was rushed to Chennai through a green corridor and a high-risk heart transplantation was carried out on Fathima. She recovered fast after the procedure and is now ready to begin a new life in Kashmir, NDTV quoted doctors at MGM Healthcare as saying.

Since Fathima was unable to meet her medical expenses and the cost of the transplant. Aishwarya Trust, a non-profit group, came to her help.

“It was a meaningful way for Aishwarya Trust to celebrate Republic Day by funding the lady’s heart transplant on January 26,” the trust’s founder Chitra Viswanathan was quoted as saying.
