Life after death: a 15-year-old donor boy saved the lives of three children and two adults

For the third time in the history of Ukraine, a child who died due to brain damage became an organ donor for transplantation, Lviv doctors report. The parents of the deceased boy agreed to the transplantation . Thanks to their solution:

🔹a smaller part of the liver was transplanted into one-year-old Luka from the Zhytomyr region - without the operation the child would only have lived for several more months;
🔹another part of the liver was transplanted to a 20-year-old man from Vinniki, Lviv region;
🔹a heart was transplanted into 11-year-old Vladik from Ternopil region - the boy’s heart could stop at any moment, it was tripled in size and barely fit in the chest;
🔹 kidneys were transplanted to 12-year-old Gena from Kharkov and 18-year-old Ivan from Cherkasy region.

Doctors noted that a week after transplantation, all patients feel well.
