A farmer by profession, 52-year-old Arun Kumar Kole, who was undergoing treatment at the hospital, was declared brain dead on Sunday night, sources said.
According to a PTI report, “The complicated transplant of the two organs on the young patient started late Monday evening. It was conducted by a team of doctors at the SSKM Hospital. Following the surgery which ended this morning, he has been kept under observation,” a doctor said.
Kole sustained severe injuries after being involved in a scooter accident on May 10. After receiving initial treatment at another medical facility, he was transferred to SSKM Hospital due to a deterioration in his condition.
“My father-in-law underwent brain surgery on May 11, but there was no improvement in his condition. He was declared brain-dead on Sunday. After that, we agreed to donate his organs so that he remains alive among others,” Kole’s son-in-law Satyajit Mondal told PTI on Tuesday evening.
A 28-year-old woman, who has been under treatment at the SSKM Hospital, and another 32-year-old woman admitted to the Command Hospital in Alipore received one kidney each from Kole, doctors said.
A 51-year-old woman received a liver.
