Subsequently, he was declared brain dead and his family informed of it. "After getting the consent of his family members, both kidneys, liver, and two corneas were harvested on January 18," Nodal Officer of National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) in JIPMER, Sreejith Parameswaran said in a release today. Five needy patients in JIPMER got the kidneys, liver, and two corneas. Director of JIPMER S C Parija said all the patients who underwent transplants are recovering well.
