By ETF Desk
Karnataka Municipal Corporation (KMC) celebrated a heart‑warming moment at Kasturba Hospital in Manipal when a 76‑year‑old woman decided to donate an organ under its ongoing organ donation drive. The act, carried out by dedicated medical staff, underscores the growing awareness of organ donation in Udupi district.
Kasturba Hospital, a flagship facility regulated by KMC, has been hosting regular drives to facilitate organ donation and transplantation. The initiative, backed by local health authorities and NGOs, has already saved numerous lives across the district. The current drive received widespread community support and media coverage by the daily Udayavani.
The self‑less contribution offers a transplant option to patients in dire need, particularly those for whom timing is critical. It also serves as an inspiration for others in the region to consider living or post‑mortem donation. The event highlights KMC's commitment to bridging gaps in healthcare infrastructure.
