After suffering brain stem death, the parents of 16‑year‑old Aadil from Kerala donated his organs, a decision that could save lives.
Aadil, a 16‑year‑old from Kerala, was critically injured when the two‑wheeler he was riding with a friend collided with a car on August 21. He was taken to a hospital where he was declared brain stem dead at 9:48 p.m. on August 23. Following the diagnosis, his parents chose to donate his organs after consulting with medical staff. The Kerala Transplant Authority will oversee the transplantation process, and the family expressed deep gratitude to the doctors for their care.
