Chinmoy Ghosh, a resident of Memari in Burdwan, was declared brain dead at a city hospital on Monday. On Monday morning, the doctors told us he was brain dead but his heart was beating. Ghosh’s family members gave their consent on Monday and his organs were retrieved by Tuesday afternoon. If the organs can be retrieved during that time, they can give life to others,” said Sudip Chatterjee, honorary secretary, Park Clinic. “So the organs are best retrieved as soon as a patient has been conclusively declared brain dead,” he said.
