Surat. The family of 55-year-old Ashokbhai Nanubhai Donda, a resident of Avkar Residency in Mota Varachha, made a decision to donate his organs after he was declared brain dead by doctors, which has given new life to seven people.
This humanitarian act has set an inspiring example of service and sacrifice in society. According to information, on April 10, 2026, Ashokbhai returned to Surat from Ahmedabad after his wife Rekhaben's treatment. Around 2:30 PM, Ashokbhai suddenly fell ill at home and collapsed unconscious.
He was immediately taken to P.P. Savani Hospital, where a team of doctors declared him brain dead after intensive treatment. During this difficult time, representatives from the Jeevandip Organ Donation Foundation Trust explained the importance of organ donation to the family.
The family showed courage and sensitivity by agreeing to the organ donation. Following this, the necessary procedures were completed, and coordination was established with the SOTO team. Ashokbhai's organs were successfully transplanted in various hospitals.
His heart was transplanted at U.N. Mehta Hospital in Ahmedabad, the lungs at KD Hospital, while the liver and both kidneys were transplanted at IKDRC Hospital. Additionally, his eyes were donated to Lokdrishti Eye Bank.
Thus, a total of seven patients received new life. To ensure timely transportation of the organs to various hospitals, the Gujarat police created three green corridors, facilitating fast and safe transport from Surat to Ahmedabad. The Airport Authority and medical teams also played a significant role in this entire process.
This was the 32nd successful organ donation completed through the joint efforts of Jeevandip Organ Donation Foundation Trust and P.P. Savani Hospital. The decision made by Ashokbhai Donda and his family not only illuminated seven lives but also conveyed the message to society that 'organ donation is the greatest donation.'
