Overview
- After a February 5 road crash and subsequent brain‑death certification, the 10‑month‑old became Kerala’s youngest organ donor with parental consent.
- K‑SOTTO coordinated retrieval at Amrita Hospital, with both small kidneys implanted into a single 10‑year‑old girl on dialysis and the liver transplanted into a seven‑month‑old child in Thiruvananthapuram, while a heart valve went to Sree Chitra and corneas to an eye bank.
- A police‑escorted green corridor moved the organs roughly 230 km from Kochi to Thiruvananthapuram in about three hours and 20–27 minutes to maintain viability.
- Kerala accorded a state funeral with a police guard of honour as senior leaders paid respects, and the Chief Minister visited the family on Monday.
- Doctors and officials say pediatric deceased donation is uncommon due to stringent brain‑stem death intervals, recipient size matching and complex coordination, noting 11 deceased donations in Kerala in 2024, 25 in 2025 and six by mid‑February 2026.
