Seven people, including Vice-Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Prof Sharfuddin Ahmed, have announced they would donate their organs after death, following in the footsteps of Sarah Islam – the first cadaveric organ donor in the country.
Twenty-year-old Sara Islam’s consent to donate her organs after her death has given new life to four, two with completely damaged kidneys and two without eyesight, in the country’s first successful transplantation of organs from a brain-dead patient.
