This was the 51st cadaver donation this year, according to data by the Zonal Transplant Coordination Committee, a non-governmental organisation that facilitates organ donation between donors and recipients. Lokesh Gholap, an engineer working at a private company in Navi Mumbai, had met with a road accident on Thane Belapur road on Thursday. Gholap, a resident of Kalamboli, was taken to a local hospital but was later shifted to Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai. Now his heart, liver, kidneys and corneas are giving new lease of life to six people,” said Satish Manjunath, an administrative official from the hospital. The kidneys were transplanted into a 38-year-old man, who was admitted at the same hospital, and another patient at PD Hinduja Hospital in Mahim.
