Surat: A 35-year-old woman from Buldhana in Maharashtra may get another chance to lead a normal life a year later after she was transplanted with two new hands from Surat on Saturday.
The mother of two daughters and a son had lost both her hands three years ago due to electrocution while drying clothes on a wire.
On Saturday, a green corridor was created by the city police to take the limbs to the airport from Kiran Hospital, from where the pair of hands crossed 292km from the Diamond City to the Maximum City by air in 75 minutes.
It was the second pair of hands that was donated from the city. Earlier, a pair of hands was donated from the city in October and transplanted to an accountant in Pune. The transplantation is so far successful as the hands are showing positive signs.
Not only hands, but in his death 67-year-old Kanu Patel ensured a new lease of life for four others after the kin donated his kidney, liver and corneas as well. Native of Rupavati village in Gariyadhar of Bhavnagar district, Patel suffered a paralysis stroke on January 18. Due to brain haemorrhage a blood clot was developed in his brain, which was removed, but after his health didn’t improve, he was declared brain dead on Thursday. Patel’s wife Sharda along with their sons — Kalpesh, Mayur, and Anand — agreed for organ donation.
