A 10-month-old girl’s final gift: Baby Alin becomes Kerala’s youngest organ donor, giving hope to others

The organs were retrieved at Amrita Hospital in Ernakulam. The donations include a liver, two kidneys, a heart valve and two eyeballs, the report stated.

The liver will be transplanted into a six-month-old baby undergoing treatment at KIMS Hospital. The child is the youngest in the state to receive a liver through posthumous organ donation. The two kidneys will go to a child being treated at the Pediatric Nephrology Ward of Thiruvananthapuram Medical College SAT Hospital. The heart valve will be transplanted at Sree Chitra Institute, while the two eyeballs will remain at Amrita Hospital, the report added.
