Organ donation in process

Dr. Rakesh Sahay, Superintendent, Osmania Hospital, said, "In last month, two in-house organ donations transpired at OGH, and one more organ donation was also in the process. 

With this organ donation, we did two cadaver liver transplants, four cadaver kidney transplants, four corneal donations, and skin donations for burn patients."

"In general, organ transplant surgeries are very expensive in PVT hospitals, which cost around 25 to 35 lakhs per case. Many of poor patients cannot offered that much money so they are coming to OGH.
